There’s something calming yet unsettling about Talk, the new single from Canadian duo Bob Moses (aka Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance). It grows out of this cross rhythm laced opening, which confuses your senses, into something that merges the melancholy of the pairs vocals with layers of echo drenched synths and guitars, over a percussive beat that gently scatters itself all over the track.
Its taken from their much anticipated debut album ‘Days Gone By’, which drops on September 18th via Domino Records. The video, directed by Andreas Arvidsson and Robin Asselmeyer, and shot in Sweden, details the story of a young woman facing life-changing decisions.
