Terence Etc. is dropping his debut album this summer
It can’t drop soon enough and to get people excited about the August 19th debut for his V O R T E X album, Terence is blessing fans with his new ‘In Contemplation of Clair’s Scent’ anthem.
Terence Etc. proudly announces his debut LP, V O R T E X, arriving on August 19th on Brainfeeder. Terence Etc, born Terence Nance, is a multidimensional artist perhaps best known for his work in film and TV. He shares “In Contemplation of Clair’s Scent” today as the lead single.
On the momentous “In Contemplation of Clair’s Scent,” Terence is candid and intimate, crooning repeatedly in the listener’s ears. The song grows, emotions swell and morph. Clarity and confidence become a meditation on the desire for today and its fleshy possibilities as tomorrow becomes the desire for an ancient and spiritual affinity.
What in the V O R T E X is Terence doing?
Forget just the TV and films success, Terence is ready to take on the music biz full throttle. His newest project is set to be all types of chill and smooth sounds.
V O R T E X envelops its audience in a clairvoyant’s plea to their lover, a psychic invitation to some preordained union of souls as expressed through a dreamstate or vision. Rhythmically, there is the sensation of being led, of descending into the deep caverns of a psyche in the troughs of harmonic convergence, a jovial if not foreboding impression. There is regret here too, as there always is in musings of relation: regrets of timing, regrets of misread intention, regrets of one’s perception of their own worthiness or capacity to accept and nurture love.
The album features contributions from Terence’s friends Nick Hakim, Serpentwithfeet, Nelson Bandela plus GRAMMY-nominatedartists Brandee Younger (harp), Nick Semrad (keys) and Raja Kassis (guitar).
It’s no cap and Terence knows it
Etc. has since stepped up to speak on the importance of getting these tunes out to the masses.
“V O R T E X is a sonic tool that I made so that I can play it for myself and balance my energy between masculine and feminine; creative and destructive; domination and submission; right and left; sun and moon; day and night: opposing energies generally,”explains Terence. “The album intends to use sound, melody, song, incantation, etc. to rebalance the self and each other throughout the constant circular movement of life.”
