Tel Aviv-based producer, vocalist and live performer May Lavie joins the Human Endeavour Records family for its fourth release, ‘Are You Having A Good Day?’

The four tracks are a window into May’s mind-expanding world, which she creates through hypnotic, textural loops and spoken samples dug up from all corners of the Internet. She pairs passages of text from scientists, social activists and films that raise questions of human nature, with her intoxicating vocals and a cosmic concoction of indie dance, synth-wave and electronica.

The psychedelia is palpable from the off as May’s harmonies soar above a driving bass line. The vocal sample floats in to pose the title’s question, ‘Are You Having A Good Day?’, before twinkling keys cascade overhead and cosmic melodies ring out. ’The Poem’ picks things up next. Eerie and hypnotic, a dizzying vocal passage is layered over a bewitching, echoing synth line, moody pads and May’s gliding voice.

The hypnotic effect continues on 'Who Sent You Here?’. Warm sub bass underpins the synth work and layers of pads, which give way to Hebrew-inspired mandolin melodies and mysterious vocals drenched in reverb. The moody sonics of ‘The Illusion’ complete the package. A mystifying melody and solid kick plod along, while May’s vocal chants ring out over a psychedelic melodica sequence.

May Lavie: “Aimed towards a late-night dance floor, I want to reach people inside a psychedelic moment and explore our mind’s flexibility together.”
