About this album

PHASE 98 : Human Interest (Better Times) is an 8-song album from NEXT, released in 2024. It's folk and contemporary folk, reflective, positive and hopeful, built on acoustic guitar, piano and bass. The songs run 92 to 164 BPM, in keys like C major, G major and B major, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for commercials, film and documentary work, nature and human drama. Most songs come with stems (guitar, piano and synths) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
