About this album

PHASE 8 : Somber is a 40-song album from NEXT, released in 2019. It's film score and orchestral, reflective, hopeful and mysterious, built on piano, synth and pads. The songs run 87 to 160 BPM, in keys like C minor, E minor and A minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, commercials and TV and news promos. Most songs come with stems (piano, guitar and drones) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
