Listen: Sin Cos Tan - "Colombia" [Exclusive]
It’s deceptively simple, and overwhelmingly sensual: its warm breath on your neck as, eyes closed, you step lightly to and fro, hips swiveling gradually in a hazy, addled rumba. Eyes open – the only person you see is you in front of you, hollowed-eyed staring back, a ghost glazed on one of your towering window panes.
Following on from lead single, “Love Sees No Colour”, we are pleased to exclusively feature an album cut from Finnish electro-duo Sin Cos Tan’s upcoming LP, Blown Away. Nearly 20 years on from the Gallaghers’ working class tale of the “mirror and the razor blade”, “Colombia” comes to us decked-out in palm tree patterned linen, housed in Italian marble and sprawled out on a mountain of Snow White.
Alongside synths as bulbous and dewy as a South Beach summer night, Juho Paalosmaa’s cracked, rueful vocals offer bleary, bloodshot admissions of the symbiotic tango of chemical dependency. Needless to say, it’s a harsh, sobering counterpoint to the frost-tipped, speedboat driven headiness purported by Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran) three decades ago.
Built on a conceptual narrative about a newly-turned drug courier, there’s far more where this understated delight comes from when Blown Away drops on 18 August, courtesy of Finland’s Solina Records.
