Powerfully Percussive Track From Iles
Were you paying attention back in March when Nathan introduced you to Iles? You weren’t? Well, here’s another chance for you to hop on the rad train before it leaves you behind forever. The man behind Iles, Tristan Johnson, hails from L.A., and the sound on this track is both playful and grounded. You get the tinkering xylophone and raw percussion that are balanced by Johnson’s deep vocals. Then the song progresses, and the seemingly playful playground sounds are pared down and grounded by the gritty guitars that transition the track from one part to the next as gracefully as an orchestral movement. This track is the second single from Apartments, Iles‘ upcoming album that is due out on May 26th. I hear you can pre-order it for the low low price of 5$ right here.
