Telling – New Love
A new jam from Tim Shiel and Ben Abraham‘s Telling, that’s what we were treated to on Wednesday this week. It was posted with neither fanfare nor press release, injected into the internet’s netherveins through the musical fluidbag that is soundcloud. Sometimes that fluidbag feels more like a colostomy bag but not this day friends, we have a real gem from this pair, a track called New Love that highlights Ben’s vocal chops and Tim’s sharp capacity to process vocals. The beat is lovely in itself, peppered with choral synths, harp progressions and a guitar line that serves rythm around the thumping bass which actually strikes quite hard during that middle eight(*ish) section. A very clever song from a very clever duo.
Really nice groove & little touches that set it apart. The vocals have a nice tone & untraditional melody which make it easy to put on repeat.
