Audience [2LP]

Hayes Bradley - Audience [2LP]

Los Angeles-based producer and composer Hayes Bradley returns with his most ambitious work yet, Audience, out now via StrataSonic Records. A departure from his years composing for film and fashion, the 14-track album marks a return to his dancefloor roots by melding breakbeats, trip-hop, and ambient textures into something both nostalgic and forward-thinking. After two beatless, melodic LP's on Secular Sabbath, Bradley arrives at Los Angeles' StrataSonic-an independent label celebrated for prioritizing artistic freedom-with 'Audience', a record defined by moody, churning breaks and rich soundscapes. Across the album, he merges the emotional depth of his scoring work with the kinetic energy of underground dance music, crafting a deeply-layed and adventurous project that exists beyond trends while highlighting his versatility as both producer and performer. The album features collaborations with Luna on the ethereal ''Dear Treasure'' (accompanied by a music video with collaborator and partner Luna Blaise), Amtrac on ''Be Right With You,'' and Oxis on ''Wishes,'' alongside a range of instrumental cuts that highlight Bradley's approach to rhythm and sound design. At its core, Audience is an exploration of embracing personal and musical chaos. Bradley channels moments of anxiety, uncertainty, and raw emotion into tracks that are unpredictable and immersive. The album reflects his philosophy of leaning into disorder-turning moments of anxiety, unpredictability, and chaos into kinetic music that moves both body and mind.
