San Franciscan producer Charlie Yin, best known as Giraffage, has unveiled his new single ‘Green Tea’, taken from his forthcoming debut album, Too Real, released on Friday 20th October. A collaboration with American vocalist Angelica Bess, the track is released via Counter Records, and follows on from his previous singles from the album, ‘Slowly’ and ‘Maybes.’ Combining a soft build with Bess’ smooth vocals, the combination of piano chords, and bass-backed electro synths make for a slow, dreamy production that carries added tempo on the breakdown. Alongside the single release, Giraffage has also revealed an extensive Too Real European Tour, starting on 31st January 2018 in Finland.
Inspired by groundbreaking acts as Yellow Magic Orchestra, Haruomi Hosono, Soichi Terada, Interpol, and Radiohead, Too Real acts as an embodiment of the producer’s personal journey of self healing, with each song representing a different period in his life.
This is some of the best music I’ve ever written. The album was written from 2015 – 2017 during a dark period of my life. So finally finishing it was a rather cathartic experience and I’m excited for what the future may hold.
