With a calm soundscape and 70s scifi effects starts the song 'Oasis / Gen S(AD)' performed by Latavian artist 'Waterflower'. The song is minmalistic and has a touch of cold wave / witch house, but is overall very synthetic. A very cool combination in my opinion.
Björk has simply become too experimental and clichéd for me since Biophilia (2011). The song 'Oasis / Gen S(AD)' from 'Waterflower' is the direction I would have liked to see Björk develop in. But it's nice to see that there is another great young artist who manage to produce fantastic electronic music in this style.
Among other great bands also this track is part of our Spotify playlist ‘Synth Pop Newcomers 2021‘.

Lyrics:
Life in a parallel utopia
A future universe
(A universe)
No deception,
No denial,
No deception
It finds you, before you find it
(It finds you)
It finds you, before you find it
When you're ever searching
Will you ever find it?
Vision in reverse
Vision in reverse
Vision in reverse
Vision in reverse
The force of nature,
It's calling me,
I'm yearning towards it
With my whole body,
The full moon and lunar eclipse,
Another month in it's passing,
The force of nature,
It's calling me,
I'm yearning towards it
With my whole body,
Yearning towards it.
The red moon is rising,
Above the pink lake.
(Where am I, for the supply?)
The force of nature,
It's calling me,
I'm yearning towards it
With my whole body,
This pain, is it not the only way?
Drawing from beyond.
A natural state of
Human being
I'm yearning towards it
With my whole body
I hope, feel and carry
I validate my truth
Journey, witness, permission
Location, mindset, forgiven
Joyous life..
