Day is better known as Tornado Wallace. Under this name, he takes on dance music's tropes and elevates them to heightened emotional states. There is a deft lightness of touch, serious musical chops, and a slight knowing wink to his work. Here, with fellow Australian/Berlin export Seror-O'Neill aka Alias Error, we're swimming in the deeper end of the same pool. Taking a step away from the dancefloor and crafting exquisite end-times pop music with one eye on the past. The mood is less upbeat and more intimate and reflective. Let's not knit boots for snails here; the primary reference is trip-hop. But don't fear; this is not insipid coffee shop landfill. On the contrary, it has proper emotional heft and maturity. Over its three-minute run time, 'Go On' draws you completely into its world. It manages to be both ethereal and heavy, structurally unconventional without forgoing killer hooks. And O'Neill's voice comes sweet with a side-order of menace. The pair remember that the best tunes never let you get too comfortable. Sure, it has a 'chill out' hue, and you can imagine hearing it alongside those familiar sunset signifiers. But there's something deeper and darker below the surface. 'Go On' seems to exist in a liminal moment where languidness meets exhaustion. That indefinable instant when a high ends and the paranoia is in the post. It's a pretty song for sure, but it has teeth. -=- SHGZ -=- - -=- -=-=-=- --==---==-- --=-=-==-=-=-- -=--=- SHGZ -=--=- --=-=-==-=-=-- --==---==-- -=-=-=- -=- - ---==--==---
