Premiere: Ben Bix & Feather – ‘Thirsty’
Frequent live collaborators Ben Bix (Meltybrains?) and Feather have teamed up on a new six-track EP on Bodytonic.
It’s not the first time the pair have released something together – their last recorded output was 2013.
‘Thirsty’ is the the fifth track from the EP, a slow-building track that builds from a buzzing synth rhythm and yawning notes to take on the expressive vocals of the Sierra Leonean Irish singer to create a superb slice of foreboding electronic soul.
Bodytonic have more releases lined up for 2017. This one is out this month on 12″ and digital on March 17th.
