Why do we like this?
Every time Melbourne-based I'lls release something new, I think to myself, "This is it for them right? They can't improve on this one!" Then they go ahead and do just that.
The classically trained trio released their debut EP Thread back in 2011, and their second, A Warm Reception, is due out on June 17. The EP's first single, "Plans Only Drawn," was featured on Indie Shuffle back in March, and they've just released another absolutely delectable track.
"Speak Low" is an introspective masterpiece; the warmth this track gives off is unbelievable. Everything about it creates a fantastical dreamscape -- from the deep bass riffs, to the withdrawn percussion and gentle keys, all the elements are balanced to perfection. Simon Lam's vocals drift in and out throughout; you couldn't have a different voice on this track.
To wrap this up, I write about music that I like, so there's nothing new about me saying that this is a good band. But, I'lls aren't just a good band -- they're a special one.
