West Londoner, Elliott Power, shows he’s something of a complex character on debut track, ‘Sink/Swim’.
On the one hand we’ve got that sinister, Tricky-recalling vocal – a sort of clandestine threat, an assassins blade to the throat – while on the other we’ve got textured melodies; comprised of elastic popping synthesizers, muscular bass throbs and exotic hand percussion. Part trip-hop, part contemporary soul; it’s an intriguing amalgam and by the time we hit the smooth, RnB licked chorus, ’Sink/Swim’ is already bobbing away on the waves like a chest of 90′s encrusted lost treasure.
‘Sink/Swim’ is out 24 June via Marathon Artists, home to Jagwar Ma, Jamie Isaac and Childhood.
