Full of life, yet fragile and fleetingly beautiful

***VINYL AVAILABLE ON AVIARYBRIDGERECORDS.BANDCAMP.COM***

Featuring the talents of not only Fdluxx, but Lord Apex, Riche, Garot Michael Conklin and Redline, “Half Awake” is overflowing with imagination and an array of perspectives. Each track is brimming with it’s own unique character, but there is an emotional heaviness to each track that binds them together as a whole and complete project.

Though emotive, and at times tinged with a bittersweet sadness, Fdluxx’s sound palette for this album is one of a floaty or dreamy quality, as if you’re slowly sailing through clouds. This is especially evident in tracks such as “Azizam (feat. Garot Michael Conklin)” or “Stay Close”, which are laden with sentimentality and warmth, truly putting the emphasis on the ‘sweet’ in ‘bittersweet’. Overall, Fdluxx has really driven home the idea of being in a dream state, or indeed ‘half awake’. There is this feeling throughout, of not quite being connected to reality, but of wandering around in an introspective daze, thinking of love, loss or distant places. A work of art which pushes the limits of what is classified as lo-fi hip hop, “Half Awake” is comparable to cherry blossoms in the spring: full of life, yet fragile and fleetingly beautiful.

Aviary Bridge Records is both a record label and a collective of artists. It was created by artists and is operated with the benefit to its artists foremost in mind.

As a record label, we value community, creativity and collaboration. We look for artists who are not only talented, but enthusiastic about being active within the our tight-knit community. We believe that music and creativity flourish when we are surrounded by likeminded people who work with, advise and encourage one another. We learn from each other's strengths and differences whilst retaining creative control and individuality.

We look to find, create and share quality music which captures experiences and evokes emotion, be it nostalgia, excitement, happiness or sorrow. We are open to a wide range of genres with a current focus on trip hop, lofi, jazz and downtempo genres with experimental and ambient influences.

Aviary Bridge Records includes artists from around the globe. We work together and share music with each other, almost entirely digitally. We believe that in the digital age and the ever-changing music industry, adaptability is key. Instead of shying away from this new and uncertain future, we aim to grab it by the horns and embrace it, making it work for us as a creative force.
