August Landelius' "Kiss Me" is a delicately warped take on Sixpence None The Richer's original

Swedish producer August Landelius has given Sixpence None The Richer's "Kiss Me" a tender and trippy makeover.

The woozy synths are a gentle introduction as August Landelius sinks beneath the water with his submerged vocals, projecting a bubbling keys melody and pulses of warped effects that sound like a romance-fuelled, underwater date.

Although it sounds pretty minimal on the surface, the intricate layers of electronica surge to a euphoric peak of psychedelia, morphing elegantly into a colourful closing section where Landelius' vocals drift away softly to the rhythm of the oceanic, warping synths.

Offering some words about the new release, Landelius says, "To be honest; I was just humming that track one night when I was in the dutch countryside with my girlfriend. She said "you should make a cover of that" and I didn't really have anything else to do so I did it and it turned out nice I think. I did really like it as a kid also."

"Kiss Me" will feature on Landelius' forthcoming debut record Goldilocks Zone, which also features earlier offerings "Now" and "All You Can Eat".

August Landelius' "Kiss Me" is out now. Goldilocks Zone drops on 10 May via Naiv Recordings.
