King Midas Sound - Waiting for You (Hyperdub)

commentary
review

‘Waiting for You’ hit me like a wrecking ball this week through the headphones, a velveteen fist packed with longing, foreboding and sadness, delivered softly as a ghost.

Kevin Martin’s elemental soundscape organically complements the beautiful vocals of Roger Robinson (and guest Hitomi) to create an austere yet riveting atmosphere. Its emotional quotient isn’t easily dismissed; evocative, mesmerizing and intimate, it will get under your skin and leave its mark.
