Description
Ahead of Coma’s (Marius Bubat and Georg Conrad) much-anticipated debut long player ‘In Technicolor’ the band give us a taste of what’s to come with the 12” release of ‘My Orbit’ – one of the album’s surefire highlights escorted by two brilliant remixes from upcoming luminaries Dauwd and Clouds.
Interstellar ballad ‘My Orbit’ is but one of many wooing album moments tracing the impact pattern of the muse’s kisses, but it perfectly encapsulates the adventurous spirit exuded from Coma in 2013. A true pop epic at heart, this cut wanders a steepening path until it reaches its full-blown vocal climax sung by an android choir, happily veering off into glistening bleep disco territory shortly afterwards.
Coma have never been shy of participating in the work of others or have them participate, as can be seen on ‘In Technicolor’ which is spiked with zealous guest performances from fellow artists running the whole gamut of contemporary pop culture. With this in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise when the remixers of ‘My Orbit’ turn out to be highly diversified producers exhibiting a similar thirst for sonic discovery. With Dauwd and Clouds, two upstarts hailing from UK’s vast post-dubstep landscape enter the Kompakt stage, with the first one delivering a soulful, life-affirming reinterpretation steering close to the alluring original, while the second one revamps it into a sweaty, hard-hitting bass jam. Chock-full of beans, that’s what we are.
