TO STOP FROM FALLING OFF THE EARTH - BLUE

On his debut album, To Stop From Falling Off The Earth, Wave Racer (Tom Purcell) reveals more of himself than ever before, while simultaneously not taking himself too seriously. A striking and audacious sonic departure for the Australian electronic producer, it seamlessly blends together the sugar-rush of his signature ecstatic 64-bit production with his love of quirky pop to tell a story of overcoming anxiety, depression, and isolation. His tongue-in-cheek sensibilities keep Wave Racer's trademark bubbliness in the mix, even as the album tackles bigger demons. The result is vulnerable, self-deprecating electronica; equal parts playful and introspective, light and dark, and an assured re-introduction to this juggernaut talent.
