Saturn - EP

nocluemusic Saturn - EP produces sense of charming nostalgia in the objectives set by Bee. Prevalent through many years of auditory craftsmanship, the work feels like a mosaic with one single pulse. I really enjoy the moods scored throughout the runtime. From anger to poignancy within deep human relation, Saturn blends our emotional complexity, delegated by calculated sampling & simple but determined rhythms. Favorite track: VII. Cavalier.

about

Saturn - EP by Killer Bee

This album is the second in my Sailor series after 'Venus - EP'.
I always viewed 'Venus' as my loveletter to lofi, and thought it
would be the end of that chapter because as a human and artist,
I knew it was only natural for me to grow and explore new genres
and techniques. It's impossible to recapture the feeling/magic
of a first project and I knew that if I forced myself to drop
something similar to "Fantasy" it would flop and I wouldn't like
it. So this project has been in the making since then, trying to
re-contextualize what lofi means to me now and reconciling it
with my obsession for minimalism.

Some of it was made during quarantine and during the BLM
movement in 2020 after George Floyd's murder that is still going
on today. During quarantine I felt trapped (as I'm sure so many
of us did) so some of the songs reflect that and are just bursts
of ideas - but bursts of ideas that I really loved. I also
wanted to contribute what I could to the ongoing protests with
music to help uplift Black people and other POC who have been
murdered and face harassment by a power structure that routinely
oppresses the most vulnerable in society. "Injustice anywhere is
a threat to justice everywhere." Many other things also
influenced the tape, too many to count as I have been working on
it since 2016, but a few stick out to me:

Artists like David Rudnick, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Tyler
Mitchell, Genesis Tramaine, Kristina Micotti, and George Condo,
Musicians like slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Playboi Carti,
Playa, Hi-Five, jarjarjr, cumulus frisbee, eevee, Sur Stone, o k
h o, Killer Mike, tajima hal, ∆KTR, Nujabes, Lil Mama, Wu-Tang
Clan, Lil Uzi Vert, RADWIMPS, and so many more. Animes like
Vinland Saga, Fruit Baskets, and Fate Zero, Movements like Black
Lives Matter, Authors like James Baldwin and so much more that I
plan to share on my next album 'DESTINY'.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped me finish
this album. Shouts to my family for supporting me, to all the
people in the subreddit/discord, and most importantly to my fans
and anyone who listens to my music. It's all for u.

Love

- Bee
