Distant yet soulful and bright vocals back up an addictive stomp of a beat, as Azton Azton introduces his upcoming debut EP with the uniquely creative single WIN.
Backed by simple piano chords and a classic rhythm, the retro mix of WIN gifts it a nostalgic sense of authenticity – a kind of raw, performative and purposeful yesteryear twang; akin to the smokey soul clubs of a simpler era.
Alongside this, however, the beat and production, though simple, deliver a notably creative edge – in keeping with the structural shifts of the writing. As such, we end up in a kind of classic alt-pop territory, somewhere between the likes of Fatboy Slim and the more art-rap realms of the modern scene.
Evocative and poetic from start to finish, WIN proves brief at two-minutes nineteen, but hits with impact for its unorthodox presentation and the two-part melodic presence of this verse-chorus set-up. The EP Technocity will hopefully rain down with equal artistry and depth.
