Belfast producer teams up with the alt-rock singer.
Northern Irish electronic artist, filmmaker, printmaker and photographer Mount Palomar has enlisted Sprints’ Karla Chubb on new track ‘L’Aliment’.
The track has an electro-punk feel.
Says Mount Palomar of the collaboration:
“When writing the song, I sketched out a couple of initial verses, drawing on a vocal rhythmic sensibility that in some senses reminded me of early Janet Jacksonmaterial. Not an obvious starting point when working with the front woman of an indie guitar band but I like to carve out something a bit different with collaborators. I then asked Karla to come up with lyrics that personified mental anguish, as though it were a partner or lover and she arrived at the studio in Dublin with a strong lyrical narrative that felt apt, suited the tone of the track and hopefully shows a different side to her as a singer.”
I decided to call the track L’aliment as a reference to the ‘eats me inside’ lyric as I could immediately envisage the artwork, and also because my mum was a French teacher back when I was jumping up and down on my bed as a young teen, playing Cannonball badly on my Black Hondo H76 Strat.”
Mount Palomar previously collaborated with Enola Gay, Joshua Burnside and Harry Wilkinson of Maruja.
