J. VAGUE SUNBEAMS

Having recently released their EP New Life, via Mansions and Millions Berlin-based romanticist J. Vague has created some lo-fi visuals in conjuction with Alvatarx9000 to accompany one of the EP's highlights 'Sunbeams'. Musically sparse, the sensual cut centres around Vague's delicate falsetto vocals. Floating in a similar sonic realm to Devontè Hynes and Connan Mockasin's incredible collaborative 2015 EP Myths 001, slow drum machine beats churn beneath strung out synth sounds and a soulful bass line. Apt for today's downpour, J Vague says: "Imagine standing in high grass that is still wet from a summer storm's rain - the sun is shooting its energy through space right into your sweaty lips kissing. Writing and recording this song was done in just a few hours because the feeling was genuine. I meant it." If that's not enough to get you hot under collar we don't know what is... -Holly Mullineaux
