“Sunny” is an understatement: Lanowa’s “My Fantasy” burns bright enough to bore a hole through whatever dark vibes you’re being saddled with this summer. A beautiful vocal flits about like a dazzled butterfly over strings, guitars and a rubbery acid bassline buried way down in the mix.
Crooked Man is given room to wander and explore and navelgaze with three remixes here. The “Chapter 1” remix features a meandering guitar that nearly turns over into a rocksteady strut. “Chapter 2” transplants a piece of blue sky into the club, and “Chapter 3” buries it under a bassline heavier than lead. “Lanowa” is a pure essence of imaginary summers. Everyone besmirched by black clouds should have this in heavy rotation until they lift.
This little piece of blue sky is out now from Citizens of Vice — get it on Bandcamp.
