Over these last few years, New York's Chad Post has been seen as one of the more innovative names on the alt-pop scene. Combining rich and glossy textures with a forward-thinking approach to production with every release, his catalogue to date has been a rich and illuminating one to say the least. And with last year's 'Fresh Reign' progressing that absorbing ascent once again, he continues to shine across his latest EP 'STATIC', a collection brimming with adventurous ideas throughout.

His tenure to date has been one that always seeks out fascinating auras and atmospheres, and 'STATIC' is no different. Featuring the previously unveiled gems 'Cold Front' and 'Safe Keeping', his newest endeavour looks to pack itself with a bustling array of passion and emotion across its five-track runtime. Exploring some beautifully alluring tones and textures as often as possible, we find Chad Post in one of his missy heartfelt guises to date, yearning for a broader and more evocative sound with every cut.

Chad Post has never been one to shy away from an explorative nature, and 'STATIC' feels like another vital step forward within his musical evolution to date. Moving with this inviting elegance from start to finish, he continues his dynamic ascent in fine form here.
