Discovering the Enchanting World of ‘lilac pond’ – An Embrace of Electro-Pop and Indie-Pop

Deeply rooted in a magical blend of electro-pop and indie-pop is the album “lilac pond.” The effort is brilliantly crafted by England’s own lilac frog, a.k.a. Harri Hocking, who at only 19 years old, invites listeners into an immersive universe sketched vividly through his ambient music.

The album is a harmonious compilation of twelve songs that run for a generous 40 minutes, blessing our ears from start to end with impeccable production and attention to detail. Brighter still, the album is graced by other talented artists such as ‘undy’, and ‘Mia Robson’, who contribute to the overall diversity and polish of the project.

Each track on the album stands out as a unique story, each with its distinct charm. When we first listened to ‘Reason to Stay,’ featuring ‘undy’, we were unprepared for the delightful experience. This track masterfully combines the talents of two seasoned artists with crisp production and seamless synthesis. The album continues to showcase lilac frog’s authentic and idiosyncratic style. Songs like ‘Friends and Strangers’ enchant us with gentle piano and heartwarming vocals, while ‘Butterfly’ comforts with its soothing production and relatable tone/lyrics.

Equally emotive is ‘See Straight Through Me’, a track that fondly takes listeners down a retro adventure with hard hitting snares, painting an aural picture with vibrant synths, vocal overlays, and it’s own signature vibe. As the journey wraps up, it leaves a tranquil touch with ‘Until Next Time (Diving Under)’, a calm and retrospective track marked by the clever use of piano, pads, and minimal percussion.

Through his compilation, lilac frog hopes for listeners to perceive his music as both an escape and a place of reflection. His work is now available on all major music streaming platforms, and we highly recommend giving it a listen.
