We wrote about Naked Congress a few days back, with their track, ‘In My Room’. Now we’re privileged to share a second release, ‘Falling’, from the Swedish artist, who now bases himself in Germany.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Naked Congress, real name Magnus Bergentz, or Mazo to his friends, describes his project thus:<\/p>\n

Naked Congress is whatever you want it to be. If you\u2019re out driving in your car late at night \u2013 it might give you a melancholy feeling. If you\u2019re stressed out \u2013 it might calm you down. If you\u2019re in a bad mood \u2013 it might soothe you. Whatever happens when you listen to Naked Congress, good or bad, its alright.<\/p>\n

This is what it\u2019s all about \u2013 a naked meeting between you and me, through my music.
\nIt doesn\u2019t matter if you like, hate or love it \u2013 all that matters is \u2013 that it makes you feel something \u2013 something else than a comfortable numbness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

‘Falling’, as with our previously reviewed ‘In My Room’, is gentle electronica with Mazo’s voice hearkening back to the prog-rock stylings of early 10cc, Yes, and Procul Harum. At just under 3 and a half minutes long, ‘Falling’ isn’t a short track but we nonetheless wish it was a bit longer, we’re greedy for its sound and want to hear it over and over.<\/p>\n
