Elderbrook draws on multiple genres and influences in a beautiful collection
Returning with an affecting and powerful new album Another Touch, Elderbrook shares a deeply emotive journey that showcases the GRAMMY-nominated artist’s evolution in sound and storytelling. Released on October 25, this 12-track LP dives into themes of self-discovery and introspection, guided by a range of dynamic collaborations. Known for his genre-blending style that fuses electronic, house, and indie pop, Elderbrook—real name Alex Kotz—effortlessly moves between deeply personal moments and dancefloor anthems. He explains that the album “begins with someone who has lost themselves so completely they barely recognise the person in the mirror. Everything is shallow and inconsistent in their life so as to protect them from anything which might hold some true meaning.” – Elderbrook
Standout tracks include the introspective “Shallow Water” and the poignant “Ain’t Losin’ You,” both of which highlight Elderbrook’s talent for creating immersive soundscapes layered with delicate vocals and stirring beats. For fans of more intense rhythms, the track “Run,” created with Vintage Culture, brings a powerful, club-ready energy. Elderbrook also explores afro-tech influences on songs like “Afters” and “Places,” the latter a moving collaboration with South African producer Shimza.
Describing Another Touch as a journey from disconnection to self-awareness, Elderbrook’s introspective lyricism brings a narrative of finding oneself amid life’s highs and lows. Reflecting on love, loss, and identity, the album resonates with moments of quiet intensity, asking listeners to look inward when the music fades.
