The track captures the album’s luminous energy, reconnecting Fake with the rhythmic hypnosis and analogue warmth that define his distinctive electronic sound.
Unfolding across the widest stereo field of his career, “Slow Yamaha” builds toward a highly kinetic finale, blending crispy melodies, fried drums, sibilant cymbals, whispering shakers, and kaleidoscopic laser-like synths. The result feels like evaporation culminating in pure excited atoms.
The track’s sense of motion is echoed visually by Dom Harwood, aka Infinite Vibes, a Berlin-based visual artist and longtime collaborator. His visuals for “Slow Yamaha” present a hypnotic nocturnal road trip of human silhouettes, cosmic forms, and floral motifs.
Written in six weeks during summer 2024, Evaporator is Nathan Fake’s sixth album and his first for InFiné, moving toward a lighter, more open form of daytime electronica, recorded largely in single takes with an instinctive, human touch.
