LONE, recently known for his remix of Friendly Fires first single 'Live Those Days Tonight' from their new album Pala and his remix of Radiohead track 'Feral', has become a new favourite artist of mine. Hailing from Nottingham and having launched his own label 'Magic Wire', he consistantly creates a fresh post-hip hop, sun-kissed, chilled disco vibe like shown from his Echolocations EP and, my favourite album lately, Emerald Fantasy Tracks. I just can't get enough.
Even better when you find out about fresh new track 'All Those Weird Things'. Starting off as some crazy playful disco with some lush abstract melodies, Lone adds an average pulsating beat in the background, creating something vibrant and musically abstract with the conventions of a stereotypical beat driven dance track. Upbeat and uplifting, fresh and different. It has repetitive elements which are subtly catchy. A cowbell in the background starts off more new sounds that are being added as the song goes on. The beat momentarily leaves and a vocal sample comes in, something quite unexpected. Once the beat kicks back in, the song itself gets exciting, as if it's building up and it is. The melody fades out and just leaves the cowbell and beat to end the song which is something I most definitely adore about this since the melody it started with is the first thing to fade out.
LONE plays around with rich melodies and rhythms, making such an exciting, energetic and bubbly disco/dance track.
