Eli & Fur – My Reflection [PIAS]
Platonic soulmates, producer/DJ/vocalist duo Eli & Fur drop ‘My Reflection’, a third taster from their upcoming sophomore album ‘Dreamscapes’ on [PIAS] Électronique. The new single shone in their two recent sets at Cercle Festival Paris (inc. an iconic secret set in a control tower at the National Air & Space Museum). Previous LP singles ‘Insomnia’ and ‘Golden Eyes and Tears’ have already won acclaim from top tier media inc. Billboard, Mixmag, BBC 6 Music, SiriusXM, DJ Mag…
‘My Reflection’: threaded on a portentous thrumming beat around which melodic tumbling piano phrases shimmer, entwined with a sweet breathy layered vocal, creating an air of melancholy, nostalgia and mixed emotions – ‘you’re still the coin in the air’. A heartstring tugger, full of feeling and beauty, this track is a true representation of them as artists.
‘’My Reflection’ is a dream for the one that one got away… it is about being consumed by a person or feeling you cannot shake. It is blurring the lines between what is real and what is not – is it something you should let go of, or is it something worth fighting for? It is playing things over and over in your mind, every fleeting glimpse feels like a reflection of their lingering shadow.’Eli & Fur
‘Dreamscapes’ LP concept: an explorative odyssey that transports listeners to a realm where the ethereal dances with the actual, and the impossible vibrates within reach, offering a poignant demonstration of their songwriting prowess (they began as lyricists for artists inc. Pet Shop Boys, Girls Aloud, The Saturdays), artistic range and technical expertise. Each of the 15 songs tells its own story ‘about the beauty of all corners of the night, dusk to dawn and the flashes in between’, and the album represents a new phase of their musical evolution.
