about

Here's what the music people are saying about DROP SHADOWS:

"Bik’s ability to transcend typical pop tropes and bring exciting sounds, feelings, and anecdotes into his writing process all ows us to see into his world much deeper than the surface level... ...The record represents a more serious side of his artistry, but easily remains positively energetic throughout its entirety, providing a refreshing balance between letting loose and personal reflection."
- CTRL ALT ESC, "TALK TO ME REFLECTS ON SELF-AWARENESS AND THE POWER BEHIND CREATION ON HIS LATEST, GLIMMERING SYNTH-POP RECORD “DROP SHADOWS”
ctrlaltescape.com/reviews-2/talk-to-me-reflects-on-self-awareness-and-the-power-behind-creation-on-his-latest-glimmering-synth-pop-record-drop-shadows

"The album made me feel like I was in a mecha anime, dark and energetic. When I first listened to the album, I was trying to think of where it was taking me. I haven't heard a sound like it in many other places, but it had a very distinct feel to it that I just couldn’t place. Then I looked around my room and saw my anime VHS tapes, my eyes instantly catching my copies of Orguss and Ariel Deluxe. It must have been the vaporgods because at that moment I realized while listening to this album with my headphones on, I felt like I was inside one of their mech suits, fighting off alien spaceships and troops."
- Private Suite Magazine, "You Need to Ahero This"
privatesuitemag.com/post/you_need_to_ahero_this

"The album marks a large leap of faith for the vaporwave producer, yet one that already begins to pay off heavily. Whether it’s mysteriously personal experimental vaporwave or the vocals of today’s hypnagogic revolution tightly wrapped in the analog synths of yesteryear, Sam Bik is sure to cause a splash."
- Under the Rug, "Sam Bik Drenches Nostalgic Synthpop in a Cool Layer of Dreamy Hypnagogia as “Talk To Me” on Drop Shadows"

"On Monday, Talk to Me put out the dazzling full-length Drop Shadows, whose exultant single "Kingdom Come" should be on everybody's playlists."
