Icarus reveal 'Ride This Train'
House | Wednesday 2nd September 2015 | Christina
After the positive reception that greeted their FFRR debut Don’t Cry Wolf EP, Bristol duo Icarus will release the follow-up ‘Ride This Train'.
If there's one thing to be said about Icarus, it's that they never do the obvious; they are unfraid to explore darker atmospheres and dive into more progressive realms but there's always something fresh at the heart of their work. That’s particularly true of ‘Ride This Train’, which re-contextualises Aniff Akinola vocals taken from Iron Weed Project¹s country-blues track ‘Down To My Grave’ into a deceptively infectious club track. That head-nodding impulse is taken to new levels with a low end brass hook that’s sure to weave its way into your brain
On one hand, Icarus can create a pure dancefloor-orientated rush but they also have the ability to create songs that capture a wider audience without sacrificing their grounding in club culture. With a far-reaching contemporary sound, their star is rising.
