Kryptic Minds are preparing to launch their most accomplished album to date. To prime listeners, Black Box is pleased to announce ‘Can’t Sleep’ the title track and their most indemand dubplate – as the lead single from the album. The track opens in classic Kryptic Minds style, with moody strings and synths setting the vibe before the entrance of vocalist Alys Blaze – her powerful voice belying the fragility of the lyrics, her vocals circling like a moth around some unseen flame. Coupled with the sheer force of the crisp beats and truly thunderous bass, ‘Can’t Sleep’ is both a powerful modern anthem and a tender song of heartbreak. To accompany the original track, Berlin-based sound designer and Ninja Tunes’ hottest signing Emika has provided not a remix, but a re-interpretation and response. ‘Make You Sleep’ inverts the mood and aesthetic of the original, creating instead a low-slung anti-love song, full of quiet menace and veiled eroticism – all delicately poised over Emika’s sultry late-night beats. |
