“Show You” is off the forthcoming album, The Making of a Paracosm
Swedish producer Kasbo returns with “Show You,” the second single from his forthcoming sophomore album, The Making of a Paracosm. Contrasting the vibrant horns and harmonies of the album’s first single, “Play Pretend” ft. Ourchives, Kasbo’s latest song feels like a daydream, a totally smooth track highlighted by chopped vocals, silky instrumentation, and euphoric drops.
An emotional release meant to evoke feelings of longing and hope, the song captures another aspect of Kasbo’s psyche and the diverse and compelling production characterizing his upcoming album. With soaring melodies and soulful vocals, the new project captures a spectrum of sentiments expressed in magnificent sonic outbursts and complex soundscapes. Culminating in an escape from reality already felt within the microworlds of the album’s first two singles.
The Making of a Paracosm is due October 23 on Foreign Family Collective/Counter Records. The record is noted as being highly influenced by the Swedish producer’s heritage, which plays a part both thematically and instrumentally in the project. Swedish creatives like Frida Sundemo, Freja The Dragon, Nea, and NOOMI all make appearances on the album. There’s also a notable appearance from Vancouver Sleep Clinic on a track called “Lune.” See the full tracklist below and pre-order the album here.

Last year he toured with ODESZA on their album run and capped 2019 with an epic set at Red Rocks Amphitheater.
