CLOUDCHORD, “Golden XO” (free DL)
Cloudchord has dazzled tastemakers thus far in 2016 with a cornucopia of remixes of songs by the likes of Jamie xx and Ember Island, which I’ve written about, as well as by Of Monsters And Men, Bon Iver, and Matoma to name but a few. The Austin producer/DJ is also a wicked guitarist, as we’ve already tasted in his remix of Ember Island’s “Need You”, and now his original instrumental “Golden XO” makes it the centre of attention amid a laid back, sexy mix for those special times (he refers to it as ‘pajama house’). It’s slick and atmospheric and shouldn’t be overlooked because it’s an instrumental, only a taste of what’s still to come. Download it for free at the above link.
