Brian Eno Sings with The Gift

Hey! This song features Brian Eno! That got your attention, right? I mean, the shapeshifting sonic genius has been around for years, this time working with Portugal’s The Gift to produce and sing on their brand new track. I like the dark synth stabs that serve as the background to this track; it’s some weird combination of Reznor meets Hot Chip, with Eno taking the vocal lead. There’s this slight little musical turn just before the 3 minute mark, where Eno and the band add a finishing touch of brilliant pop construction…perhaps my favorite moment on the tune (seems like Bowie isn’t far from his mind). This single is officially released this Friday via the band’s La Folie Records.
