BROLIN NIGHTDRIVING

Having burst onto the scene a few years back with stunning electronic tapestries like 'Reykjavik', we thought masked crooner Brolin was here to stay, but things have been quiet, too quiet, for the past year. That all changes today, with the camera-shy production whiz announcing his debut album, The Delta, and airing its lead track - a febrile, pulsing number called 'Nightdriving', which feels just as fresh as anything Brolin has ever put his name to. There's an air of straight-up melancholy and unease riven through 'Nightdriving' - now a hallmark of Brolin's sound - but this pensiveness that builds up in the verses only makes the potency and escapism of his chorus hook even more irresistible. The Delta is out next month. - DC
