GusGus – Out of Place

This is like a fine wine, you need to give it time to develop and open up but when you do you are handsomely rewarded. The lushness is the framework for a beautiful pulsating delight. I’m in love with Daniel’s voice on this masterpiece. It’s heartbreaking, dreamy and engaging. This is GusGus in best form. The atmosphere is so intoxicating and gorgeous.

Sly – Cotton Candy (with Emily Warren)

From the start, the vocals pull you in and never let go. Emily Warren’s voice is so intricately textured and elevates the track to another dimension. The song is a bit dark but hypnotic and deep at the same time. Sly (aka Sylvester Sivertsen) has built a well constructed track with top-notch production. The track is full of atmosphere and mood and the video only builds on that. Sly had this to say about the track:

‘Cotton Candy’ is a song about not being ready to give up and Emily got back with her boyfriend the next day.”

thom.ko – Confusion

Indie Pop / R&B tune infused with some Deep house feeling. The atmosphere is easygoing and rolls along a steady beat that picks up with some hats and a solid baseline. I like the vocalist here and how he slides around in the atmosphere to tell his tale. It’s a mix of elements in all the right places. The 21 year old singer-songwriter currently calls Los Angeles, California home.
