Satin Jackets - A Higher Place

After the huge success of his 2nd album Solar Nights, Tim Bernhardt, AKA Satin Jackets, kicked off 2020 with a return to his nu-disco roots releasing a series of sublime instrumental singles. Now, having soundtracked the summer with hit collaborations with Metaxas and Panama, Tim caps a year like no other with a final instrumental release, the contemplative and wistful ‘A Higher Place’.

"'A Higher Place' is a track I wrote to evoke certain memories, specifically those that give me a feeling of elevation, of being lifted up. I wanted to bottle that feeling up so I could return to it when I needed a moment of reflection," explains Tim. "So for me this song is a time capsule of sorts, a souvenir of how I felt over the summer and now with the days drawing in and autumn in full force, I can return to it and sustain myself off those memories again."

A soft, gentle track, ‘A Higher Place’ combines calming synth washes with a sparkling melody, uplifting pianos and short snippets of delicate vocals to create a warm, nostalgic feeling. In the instagram version of your life, where you haven't spent the last 10 months staring at the same 4 walls, it's the kind of track that would be playing in a soft focus video where you and all your beautiful friends are dancing and laughing in a beautifully lit garden. Ah well, next year perhaps but until then press play, relax and let Satin Jackets lift you up...
