It doesn't take much to see where Sivu drew his inspiration from for his debut track "Better Man Than He." Partly because the
music video accompanying the song depicts the London-based musician singing along under an actual MRI scanner, but also because of the chilling lyrics that serve as advice to a friend fighting through bouts of depression. While we can delve into the musician's cerebral inner workings,the video is an allusion to the deep soul-searching this track forces you into, as its melodic piano chords and soft-spoken vocals tingle throughout your body.
This track was produced with the help of Charlie Andrew, the producer behind Alt-J's Mercury Prize winning "
An Awesome Wave."
It's the perfect blend of acoustic melodies and harmonious vocals supercharged with an electronic backdrop. The EP is out now with a special, limited edition release through No Recordings.
