London rapper Lord Apex teams up with occult producer Big Animal Theory on new single 'Darkest Alive'. Lord Apex released two albums this year, Dark Skies, and Supply and Demand, both of which are centred around emotive production and lyrics that tell intimate stories. 'Darkest Alive' sees ominous production constructed from rippling synth, melodic, electronic squeals and heavy drums, creating a grandiose atmosphere. Apex's signature carefree vocals mumble 'keep talking how you're talking', each line repeated in a stumbled delay. Check out 'Darkest Alive' here. -Ellie Rose-Davies
