North vinyl

Serial collaborator Rune Lindbaek has been working with studio partner Oyvind Blikstad since 2012, but this is the first time the duo has released a single together. "North" is arguably typically of Lindbaek's output over the last few years, sitting somewhere between rubbery, punk-funk influenced dub disco and gentle Balearica (think twinkling pianos, heavenly chords and shuffling acoustic guitars). Man of the moment Eddie C provides the flipside remix, emphasizing the beautiful and deep elements of the original while giving the track a little more bespoke disco swing. In some ways, it's typical of the Canadian's style, but more beguiling - and less percussive - than many of his outings.
