KOM 346EP
|
French duo The Silent Ones (Aalik and Fred Traverso) specialize in their own brand of indie-infused electronic pop, putting a modern spin on vintage cold wave and minimal synth influences. "Magical Party" exemplifies their distinct mélange of swirling melodies and catchy songwriting. Jonas Bering returns to Kompakt after his 2008 release Can't Stop Loving You (KOM 172EP) with an immersive rework that successfully trims the vocals and transplants the original's delicacy into a deep but buoyant mover. Ben Watts's mix is a fitting companion cut, promoting a slightly bouncier approach and seasoning its propulsive beats with tension-building synths.
