Paris-based pair Champions League are sharing "CYA", the second single from forthcoming record AF1.
Remy Barreyet has directed "CYA"'s accompanying visuals.
The track features Tori Lineker (lead vocalist of Anthems), and is a "fantasized last conversation between Narcissus and Echo... [it's] Champions League’s alternative ending of the Narcissus myth."
It's a warped, vaguely solemn piece of hypnotic dream pop, drenched in shimmering melodies and diamond-studded beats. "CYA" has cleansing choirs, triumphant rises and quivering lows - it's a deceptive gem that grows from intimate introversion into a world-beating popsplosion.
Check out "CYA" below.
