Alexander Nantschev – “Your Star Smells Like Mine”

Just wow. Alexander Nantschev’s “Your Star Smells Like Mine” is one of those albums that really sticks with you. It mixes classical beauty with psychedelic rock energy and experimental stuff, so each song feels like a trip. You never quite know where it’s going next, and that’s exactly what makes it so fun to listen to.

After listening to the first track, “Your Star Smells Like Mine” just pulls you in with its impressive violin and unpredictable arrangements. Alexander is a skillful artist who knows how to mix things up, one second, you’re floating in spacey sounds, and the next, you’re hit with fast beats and rock riffs. This is why I found this album unique and I was excited to share it with you. It feels personal, like he’s letting you into his own musical world where anything can happen.

“Madman” and “Invisible Enemies” are my favorite pieces of the album because they’re intense, stacking violin melodies on interesting beats and harmonies. Then you have songs such as “Phoenix” and “Tangerine Dreams”, which are hypnotic and feel like a movie. The album goes back and forth between feelings, from emotional to super electric.

What I like is that “Your Star Smells Like Mine” is that it doesn’t try to fit into a single category. It’s not afraid to be different, to challenge the listener, and to embrace the unexpected. It’s the kind of album that you need to sit with, let it sink in, and then come back to again and again because you’ll always find something new hidden in the layers.

If you’re into music that pushes limits and takes you on a journey, check out this album and make sure to follow Alexander Nantschev, he’s an artist you should keep up with.
