You Forget This

DREAM_133 “I mean look at the state of it down there already..” The thick Manchester accent of the quote that opens our latest signing Sangam's new album, ‘You Forget This’, puts you straight inside a dream - a dream of northern England in a near future of rainy nights and fluorescent lights. Its deep dream-like atmospheres and hypnotic repetition recalls Burial’s most sparse, percussion-free pieces. And having grown up in Manchester listening to artists like Burial from the old UK dubstep and garage scenes, this music has certainly proved to be an inspiration to Sangam, who has taken some ideas of this time and created his own dark ambient vision. The melancholy undercurrent of real British culture is exposed in full here, with hypnagogic loops of sadness, regret, pain. ‘You Forget This’ is a trip and a dream, a moment in time, a premonition of the future and memories of the past.
