Dublin-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Sal Dulu returns with “Full Metal,” a captivating new single from his upcoming sophomore album Nafuchsia In Fantasy. This track demonstrates his signature eclectic approach, blending genres with ease and pushing the boundaries of electronic music, jazz, and hip-hop.
“Full Metal” kicks off with a light trip-hop beat that soon morphs into a whirlwind of glitchy patterns and shifting tempos. The backdrop of dreamy, ambient synths serves as a canvas for a dynamic interplay of sampled saxophone and soaring, ethereal vocals. The result is a hypnotic soundscape that reflects Dulu’s talent for seamlessly merging diverse musical styles, creating something both experimental and immersive.
The title “Full Metal” holds personal significance for Dulu, as he composed the track after undergoing surgery to mend a broken collarbone. This experience seems to imbue the song with a sense of resilience and transformation, as the layers of rhythm and texture mirror the physical and emotional recovery he endured.
Taken from Nafuchsia In Fantasy, the single is a prime example of the creative evolution Dulu has undergone since his 2021 debut Xompulse, which was lauded for its dreamlike quality. Nafuchsia In Fantasy, releasing on November 15 via Duluoz Records, promises to be just as groundbreaking, with previous singles like “Nafuchsia” and “Neri Eyes” (featuring rapper Fly Anakin) already receiving praise.
“Full Metal” stands out for its intricate attention to detail, from the warped rhythms to the subtle atmospheric elements that Dulu meticulously layers. While experimental, the track maintains a sense of cohesion, offering an intoxicating listening experience that blurs the lines between dream and reality.
For fans of instrumental electronica who crave genre-defying sounds, “Full Metal” is a strong indicator that Nafuchsia In Fantasy will be a must-listen, marking another step forward in Sal Dulu’s unique and ever-evolving musical journey.
