Das Lebenslied Means The Song of Life

The Policy is a duo out of Rotterdam. The lyrics of their song “Das Lebenslied” are in Dutch, maybe German, through a vocoder. That doesn’t matter. This is pretty rad.

I pick up Kraut Rock influences, sure, but there is a bit of Detroit and Jungle lurking tonally, certainly not a frenetic drum line here, but waveform patterns and the interesting melodic flourishes in rise and descent echo the progressive house movement’s subtle, but strong run through dance halls and after hours spots in the 90’s. Pierre Hagelaars fronts and Thijmen Hoebink produces, they have been remixing quite a bit lately, but this single has me ready for a full release. This single is now available via [PIAS] Recordings.
