Blondes released one of my favourite tracks of 2011 with ‘Lover’, a big slice of euphoric dance music which harks back to the sprawling lengths of old. Similarly dark and long, ‘Wine’ is taken from the duo’s last release of the year in November on RVNG, the completion of a trilogy of singles which went ‘Lover / Hater’, ‘Business / Pleasure’ and ‘Wine / Water’. The video is pretty insane.
There’s a Teengirl Fantasy remix of the track too:
