Review: Hazy, mellow grooves sitting somewhere between Balearica, nu-disco and psychedelia are the order of the day on this five-tracker from singer-songwriter and sometime Mudd, Satin Jackets and Rasmus Faber collaborator David Harks, which is brought to you by Amity Recordings. The lively, uptempo instrumental 'Surrender' kicks things off, after which things get a bit more west coast and paisley-fied on 'Sunshine Cowboy'. 'The Aggregator' and 'State Of The Art' then bring hints of 80s pop before 'The Dawn' plays us out on a slightly more driving and more overtly electronic note.
Northern Lights (Carl Louis remix) - (4:31) 111 BPM
Review: Belgium's Eskimo label have long since been champions of retro electro-pop and house. Here Germany's Satin Jackets see their recent yacht rock hit Northern Lights remixed into sublime and dreamy pop-trance by Carl Louis. With the original's tougher edges now smoothed out, the song becomes something else, that something else being a slow motion widescreen Euro anthem, drenched in summery synth riffs and yearning vocals courtesy of David Harks who sounds uncannily like Jake Sheers in ballad mode. A fitting end of the summer epic.
