Lemaitre - 1749 EP (Virgin EMI)
Lemaitre - Stepping Stone |
Release Date: Out Now
Ulrik and Ketil make their music
and, presumably, do their loving in Oslo - one of the only places on earth that
is the anagram of a Star wars surname. The band have a new tune by the name of
'Stepping Stone' featuring the talents of Mark Johns and, if you're feeling
like being good to yourself, then listen up and listen good. I mean seriously,
this is an absolute beast. A Goose-esque
dirty synth bass throb gets things going like the thrum of a distant band of
Hell's Angels getting closer and closer and closer. Throw in some sultry vocals
and the kind of beats vs melody combo that makes you want to drive through a
neon lit city in an open top car with this tune pumping out just so you can
soak up the adoration from passersby. This is sexy, classy, dirty, slick and
edgy - pretty much everything I want in a dance tune with an extra sprinkling
of cool that you rarely outside of the likes of Daft Punk or Transformer.
Superb stuff and a band I will be paying far more attention to in 2016, don't
make me fly solo.
