Swiss live performer/singer/songwriter/producer Natascha Polké drops melodic but dark-edged, indie-spiced three-track EP ‘Into You’, out now on [PIAS] Électronique. Her sophomore EP on the new electronic arm of the historic imprint features eponymous exclusive track ‘Into You’.
Sian Eleri’s BBC Radio 1 Chillest Show, Kiss FM’s Justin Wilkes, Mixmag, DJ Mag, SiriusXM, Beatport, 15 Questions a.m.m have already supported the previous two EP singles, the decadent, subtly sinister ‘Poison of Choice’ and indie-guitar-laced mix of sweet vocals and dark lyrics, ‘Heavens Will Fall’.
Zurich-born London-based Natascha Polké recently rose from the Swiss techno underground to become a world name as her sweet/dark mix of indie/folk-pop with techno won her millions of Spotify streams, the London Roundhouse Rising prize leading to a 4-year residency, and releases on Anjunadeep, Einmusika, Stil vor Talent and Gardens of Babylon, as well as live performances at Club Chinois Ibiza, Scorpios Mykonos, Hamburg’s Dockville… with the likes of Parra for Cuva, Agoria, Tale of Us, Rampa, Christian Löffler, Kollektiv Turmstrasse and Miss Monique.
‘Into You’ title track: Natascha’s indie/folk background seeds an organic melodic house vibe as icicle chimes introduce her ethereal, otherworldly voice, before heating up with a faster beat behind subtle layers of synth chords and piano note clusters. The romantic lyrics hide a possible darker edge – ‘I’m into you, I’m giving into you’… The uplifting track’s plangent melodies, sweet vocals and subtle electronic beats create a warmth to welcome Spring.
‘This is one of my favourite tracks I’ve ever written. The idea started when I was lying in a sound bath listening to gongs, very deep frequency sounds, and then, these bells. Music touches me though I never cry but these made me well up. I went home and started recording, the track came about within 4 hours. A beautiful flow. A love song about my relationship.’
From the jump, “DEM DEAD” slaps with the kind of energy that says, “We’ve arrived…
