There&#8217;s a familiarity in the droning, flat electronic\u00a0vocals. Everything about the track is\u00a0soft and hazily controlled, despite\u00a0exasperated moans rising up like air bubbles. It all makes sense when you read the small print and realise Sebastian Zieler&#8217;s influences are firmly sci-fi, citing\u00a0<em>Blade Runner<\/em> and Iain M. Banks&#8217;\u00a0<em>Culture<\/em> series.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;Pastel Clouds&#8221; has dripped into our consciousness ahead of the release of Zieler&#8217;s second EP,\u00a0<em>Fault Lines.\u00a0<\/em>\u201cWhere the last EP was all Riddley Walker, everything-has-fallen stuff,\u00a0Fault Lines\u00a0is a future that succeeded,\u201d Zieler explains. \u201cMachines think, minds are expanding \u2013 and at the same time, it\u2019s all green and lush and in harmony with nature. It\u2019s techno-optimistic sci-fi, really. Hopeful and longing fantasy.\u201d Deep stuff for a Wednesday morning, but stick with it. &#8220;Pastel Clouds&#8221; has enough R&amp;B embellishments to maintain some bite to it but set against melancholic\u00a0tones and creepily sighing layered voices, it&#8217;ll settle itchingly somewhere under your skin, memorably\u00a0close to the surface.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2015-10-21-at-11.18.06.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-59197\" src=\"\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2015-10-21-at-11.18.06-1024x650.jpg\" alt=\"ticktock\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><em>&#8216;Fault Lines&#8217;,\u00a0is due for release\u00a0on 4th December\u00a02015 via The Big Oil Recording Company.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arcade laser beam sound effects and melting auto-tuned vocals, fold\u00a0into the premiere of &#8220;Pastel Clouds&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":59197,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9419,9413],"tags":[6899,7585],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Audio Premiere: ticktock - &#039;Pastel Clouds&#039;<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Arcade laser beam sound effects and melting auto-tuned vocals, fold into the premiere of &quot;Pastel Clouds&quot;.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wonderlandmagazine.com\/2015\/10\/21\/premiere-ticktock-pastel-clouds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Audio Premiere: ticktock - &#039;Pastel Clouds&#039;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Arcade laser beam sound effects and melting auto-tuned vocals, fold into the premiere of &quot;Pastel Clouds&quot;.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.wonderlandmagazine.com\/2015\/10\/21\/premiere-ticktock-pastel-clouds\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Wonderland\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WonderlandMagazine\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2015-10-21T10:24:09+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2017-03-01T15:50:13+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/media.wonderlandmagazine.com\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Screen-Shot-2015-10-21-at-11.18.06.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2100\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1332\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Wonderland Staff\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@wonderlandmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@wonderlandmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Wonderland Staff\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.wonderlandmagazine.com\/2015\/10\/21\/premiere-ticktock-pastel-clouds\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.wonderlandmagazine.com\/2015\/10\/21\/premiere-ticktock-pastel-clouds\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Wonderland Staff\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.wonderlandmagazine.com\/#\/schema\/person\/6dc3b150149b9a6c43bd0d6277c3c000\"},\"headline\":\"Premiere: ticktock &#8211;
