Every time I write something about X&G I’m compelled to tell readers that they are one of the most forward-thinking and innovative producers in electronic music today. I hate being redundant in my writing but each release commands me to want to tell the world. This is the case once again with the release of ‘Montage’. The low-key intro opens up to a sound that’s lush and uplifting. From the animal samples to the funky bass lines, it’s warming and inviting. As you get comfortable, you find yourself diving headfirst into clear water. As you swim along, the surface darkens. What was once bright blue turns black as anxiety sets in. As you press yourself to surface, you finally escape the waters embrace to find that what was once beautiful has been completely distorted. It’s night and the hunters are out. Bright eyes burn with hunger and safety seems like a distant memory. The only way back seems to descend deeper into water once more. The chance pays off as the final resurfacing leads you back to near familiar territory. It’s warmer and more welcoming but you’re forever aware of the demons you have just glanced (as they whisper in your ear). Embark on the expedition below and grab that free download.
