Sounds like an interlude but it's gorgeous and will almost certainly sound even stronger in context
Doesn't dampen my excitement for the album in the slightest and they've only dropped classics IMO
"Sometimes we receive a message. Telling us our music has been there; through dark times, loneliness, loss. There are no words to express how moving or profound this connection with you is. Because the music was born out of such moments itself, and so it is felt, by those with open hearts, on the same wavelength it was first created. Morse Code beamed and received by hearts and hearts alike.
Our new record is about such journeys, from darkness to light. About life after (all kinds of) death. About the transcendent nature of music itself. Every voice ever played on the radio over the last 100 years now exists in the stars; the transmissions of these singers are forever floating around out there, lost in the cosmos, endless travelling. Tonight Smokey Robinson duets with Dev Hynes and the Roches. Those spirits are out there. We are each a tune, floating in space. And this one’s for you."
Absolutely beautiful. This a dream collab as far as sounds go. Also their art direction is always hard as s***
Yeah a dozen plus listens this is just so breathtaking. I love the new direction and explanation of spirits coming together through time. Really beautiful and a natural next step after the LSD trip from city to country soaked in harmony and love feeling of Wildflower. Spiritual, cosmic connection through all
