Lake People and Trace Ae arrive like the cleanest thing in the room, and that matters right now. The track feels essential because it sounds both fresh and oddly inevitable, the sort of tune that sneaks into every serious playlist before anyone agrees on it.
The production keeps a tight grip: clipped percussion, a soft pulse under the floorboards, and synths that glow instead of shout. Little details flicker in and out, giving the mix a cool, glassy edge without ever losing warmth.
Late-night headphones, tram rides, and a desk with too many tabs open all make sense here. Trace Ae fits the moment when the city starts to blur and the room finally gets quiet.
