Modern life is rubbish.


Yesterday, this exquisite little tune dropped into my inbox after it had circled half the globe. Responsible for these four minutes of sundrenched laid-back electronica are Collarbones, an Australian duo consisting of Travis Cook and Marcus Whale who live in Adelaide and Sydney, respectively, and in fact decided to start this project after they'd met on the internet. Oh, these modern times. At least the above photograph proves (correction: appears to prove - mind Photoshop!) that the two must've seen each other in person at some point of the creative process.

Anyway, Beaman Park is the first single of a forthcoming album named Iconography, due later this year. The track is an excellent teaser and an admirable soundtrack for these sunny days, actually pretty reminiscent of that certain music that people use to call chillwave these days, think Toro Y Moi in particular (before that dude went acoustic). Absolutely delicious.

You can download the whole single via Collarbones' Bandcamp site, and it would be nice if you paid at least a bit, though you don't have to.
