Ahead of his second full-length as Still Parade, Berlin's Niklas Kramer took an extended creative vacation to"the reddest place in Silverlake." He explains, “Everything was red in this apartment; the floors were red, the walls were red, the sofas were red." His Los Angeles tour guide was like-minded musician Vinyl Williams. Together they recorded at local DIY space Non Plus Ultra, laying down the foundation of Soon Enough, a collection of dreamy psych-pop odes to fleeting moments—rose-colored sunsets, desert road trips, and late-night walks. A quintessential California album from the imagination of an outsider, out on his own Feel Flows label (fittingly named after Kramer's favorite Beach Boys song).
