“Sun” (String Qunitet Live At Maida Vale)
Digital Single
Here’s the first taste of Welsh producer Lewis Roberts’ collaboration with a string quintet at BBC’s legendary Maida Vale studios. They take on the second track of his outstanding Yungen EP, and the result is overwhelming and gorgeous. Lead by a haunting cielo, “Sun” opens up into an exuberant, sweeping melody with a palpable cinematic quality. Roberts doesn’t bring in his signature synth until about halfway through, and it integrates beautifully with the acoustic instruments, adding a futuristic feel to its timeless core. Hopefully, this won’t be the only piece we hear from the session.
