SHato & Paul Rockseek Feat Alex Humphreys – Music Gets Us Through
You don’t break up a winning team’ is the clear & present production ethic of SHato & Paul Rockseek. Bare months after VANDIT’s stunning ‘Chasing Aeroplanes’ release, and completing the hat trick that began with ‘Losing Control’, the Czech/Slovak pair reteams with English vocalist Alex Humphreys.
The collective’s return to the studio has produced a track that’s the rarest & most elusive of things: one that’s as coolly laidback as it is supremely catchy.
Impressively touching, Alex’s imagination capturing lyrics & gifted vocal touch work seamlessly with SHato & Paul’s subtlety observed, ‘quiet storm’ of a production.
Supported atop the restrained syncopation of its tempo and drums and (early Chicane reminiscent) castaway guitar & piano strains, the heartfelt message of Alex’s lyrics couldn’t be clearer: music transcends all, no matter what.
For those of a clubbier disposition, fear not – your time will come! Floor angling interpretations of ‘Music Gets Us Through’ are well in process. For now though kick back, think of warmer climes and enjoy the mellow brilliance of SHato, Paul & Alex’s original vision.
