“Canada,” the second single from Domus forthcoming album, comes in with a meditative dynamic, like a slow-motion motorik beat, as synths are joined by minimal guitar and distinct, melodic bass accents. Guest vocalist Ljung’s languid voice wanders into sonic frame, sometimes processed and sometimes not to suit the moment. The introspective lyrics seem to be about reconnecting with the spark in one’s life and searching in unlikely places guided by intuition and a sense of where a similarly stimulating experience or setting might exist when encountered. The sense of low key but deep yearning is palpable as the late night pace wends forward with a sense of the inevitability of that encounter even if the song is caught in dreamlike contemplation of the needs of the spirit.
