This one has been knocking around for a week or more, but due to the site re-design (swanky, eh?) time hasn’t really been a friend of mine recently. However, ‘The Kiss’ is far too good to let slip under the rug. Yet another nome de plume of Labrador Records manager Johan Angergård - who is also a member of Acid House Kings, Club 8 and The Legends. A collaboration between Angergård and Henrik Mårtensson, Pallers music is (and I quote the band here) “dance music for the lazy, the blazers and for the slightly depressed”. Slow motion disco, then… Which category do you fall into?
Building slowly under a haze of synths and congas, ‘The Kiss’ is like dipping your toes into an indigo blue ocean, whilst the soft balearic breeze floats on by it is perhaps the perfect soundtrack for watching the sunset (or indeed sunrise). Over five blissed out minutes, numerous layers are stacked upon one another to eventually serve up a hypnotic crescendo of such staggering beauty, only the Ibizian scenery that inspired the track could compare.
‘The Kiss’ is the first sign of new material from Pallers since 2008′s debut EP Humdrum. On the strength of this new track, let’s hope a new album or at least EP is well and truly on its way.
