There’s a shimmering softness and intimacy to “Blue Hour”, an alluring and friendly track by Philadelphian DJ Cards.
The song seems just as intent on making you feel safe with its muted synths and ethereal wordless vocals as it is making you move with its crystalline beats and arpeggiated melodies. Inspired by the transition from day to night, the piece is neither too bright nor too dark, emphasising balance.
This balance is communicated through its glimmering production and altruistic composition that communicates with the listener on a personal level, inviting them into a conversation on the fragility of daylight and our ability to find beauty in patterns all around us, whether that’s the glow of a sunset hitting a lake, or a purple moon hanging over a mountain, there are rare moments in life when everything seems to line up into an aesthetically scrumptious experience. This sense of balance makes sense when you discover DJ Cards is a lawyer by day, with justice represented by the scales. However, unlike the courtroom, there is much to luxuriate in here.
