(Alex Banks) (Elizabeth Bernholz)

Multi-instrumentalist and producer Alex Banks collaborates with fellow Brighton-dweller Elizabeth Bernholz for the weighty electronic composition, “A Matter of Time”. The radio edit of the track premieres today on Best Fit.

Opening with a swell of strings backed by dense beats, “A Matter of Time” is immediately compelling. Bernholz—known for her work as Gazelle Twin—heightens the emotional stakes of the piece as her vocals loom and bend their way around the lurching rhythm. Portishead fans will find much to savor in the richness and poise of Bernholz’s delivery and the vivid, cinematic atmosphere forged by Banks.

“A Matter of Time” is slated for a 12” vinyl and download release on 5 September via Monkeytown. The track is taken from Banks’ Illuminate LP, which contains two additional Bernholz collaborations and is available in CD, 2xLP, and download formats.
