Swedish maestro Kasbo has unveiled his latest single, ‘Lune’, the final teaser ahead of his widely anticipated second album ‘The Making Of A Paracosm’. A flickering dose of melodic electronica, ‘Lune’ sees Kasbo and Vancouver Sleep Clinic create a hedonistic soundscape while conceiving an effortless indie-electronic crossover record. Underpinning the track, Kasbo’s distinct synths and flawless drum patterns are met with the obfuscated and ethereal vocals of Vancouver Sleep Clinic frontman Tim Bettinson transporting the listener to a realm away from our own.
Discussing the new single Kasbo said: “I started Lune right before my Places We Don’t Know tour in late 2018 where Tim was supporting me. I remember working on the song in the back of the tour bus and thinking to myself that Tim would be the perfect fit for the song, having been inspired by falsetto vocals from Bon Iver and Sigur Ros when making the instrumental. We never ended up recording anything on tour but in March this year, I convinced him to come to Gothenburg to hang out and record in my studio. He came and that night was when corona really broke loose, Trump announced he was closing travel to the states, and Tim who was going back there was really confused over what to do. It all felt like a big movie, it felt like we both know were stranded in Gothenburg all of a sudden, which was a very surreal feeling at the time. We ended up recording the vocals for Lune that same night. Tim is a pro and came up with the melody line really fast and we spent the rest of the night fine-tuning the mixing, lyrics, and overall vibe. So happy we finally made something happen together.”
Vancouver Sleep Clinic frontman Tim Bettinson added: “I’ve been a fan & friend of Carl’s for a while now and was grateful to finally be able to collaborate with him on Lune when I spent a couple of special days visiting his hometown earlier this year. To me Lune feels like a sonic representation of the sacred conversations you share with a memory forever lingering in your dreams.”
