Sunset Graves is used to breaking things down, using electronic music as a means to pick apart instrumental composition.
After four albums, though, the artist is in need of a change. Seeking out like minds, Sunset Graves recently went back into the studio to work with vocalist Jo Carson.
He explains: "I really wanted to work with vocals, beyond straight sampling and editing. I wanted to write a song. When I contacted her, Jo was busy being brilliant with her own project, Temples of Youth, but she agreed to sing the track if I wrote it. I’ve been solely working on instrumental music for about four years, melody and lyrics have been off my radar in a sense. But with this song, it all just came together."
This song in question is named 'Static Love', and it's just a little bit special. Absorbing, atmospheric, nocturnal fare, the balance between electronic production and Jo's softly devastating delivery is simply perfect.
Out on July 15th via 3rd & Debut Records, 'Static Love' seems to draw you in with each passing listen.
