It's been a little while since we heard from post dubstep pioneers Mount Kimbie. Their huge 2010 release Crooks & Lovers gained an incredible amount of critical success and their unique blend of melody driven, minimalistic 2-step made the duo one of the hottest electronic acts of both 2010 & 2011. Three years on from then sees the return of Mount Kimbie along with a new album released on Warp Records at the end of April and a brand new single: Made To Stray.
Mount Kimbie have a knack for putting sounds together that other producers would steer clear of and Made To Stray is no different. You may raise your eyebrows after the first 90 seconds as high tempo percussion loops over a low-fi broken beat which transitions into a basic house beat. After the initial build up kicks in and the track suddenly is filled with lush keys and echoing drums you'll find yourself so immersed that the vocal at around the 3 minute mark will come as a perfect, if not unexpected, surprise and you'll probably forget what the start of the track sounded like, which means you'll just have to listen to it again....and again.
