Yu Su Forges New Soundscapes on 'Foundry' Album

Chinese-born, London-based musician Yu Su has released her latest album, 'Foundry,' which elegantly bridges the realms of dub techno and ambient music. Her sonic journey, influenced by her global path from Vancouver to China and now London, has shaped a distinctive sound.

'Foundry' is an elemental creation, built from human voice, strings, and synthesizers. The album emphasizes sonic space, texture, and atmosphere, offering clarity and a signature style that is both ambient and rooted in dub techno traditions. It feels elemental and synthetic, like metal forged in a factory.

The compositions on 'Foundry' are dynamic and often unexpected, with melodies glitching and turning in novel directions. Tracks feature airy synths, delicate textures, and a crystalline production quality. Collaborations, such as with Seefeel, further enrich the album's sound with atmospheric guitar work and compelling beats.
