Listen To: Airport (The Attic Sleepers Vs Morten Hampenberg)
Hey guys! I've got a treat for you! Copenhagen based indie/folk duo, The Attic Sleepers have teamed up with one of Denmark’s hottest dance producers, Morten Hampenberg, to release their forthcoming track, Airport via Nordic label, disco:wax, based in Copenhagen.
Each artist brings their own individual style to the track, with The Attic Sleepers’ Mathias Barfod’s dusty leading vocals complementing Hampenberg’s inch perfect production. One brings the indie/folk vibe and the other the electronic side! The tune plays out with a distinct Nordic sound, not dissimilar to the work of Mew, Sigur Rós, Röyksopp, and others.
The song is so smooth guys, it's like I'm in a dream. Loving the ambient synth-work that opens the track, with Barfod’s warm vocals layered atop Hampenberg’s delicate, melodic undertones. The soft bass is introduced, governing the drive of the track until the raw, organic percussion leads into the chorus. Oh and then we have the tropical vibe all thanks to sporadic djembe drums and marimba interludes.
