French producer
Tomas More recently released a handful of understated electro tracks under Canadian label My Favorite Robot. I stumbled upon them through a
Sid Le Rock mix, which is his rework that I like the best.
"The Day I Spoke," as a title, already imbues the track with a tremendous sense of history and, more importantly, released pressure. The importance of the moment, however, becomes complicated by the power dynamics that later emerge. Tomas More presents a distinct tension, and I don't know about you, but I don't really feel comfortable sleeping in the environment evoked here.
These types of breathy deep house tracks work hard at disorienting the listener through hypnotic synths and apathetic, provocative lyrics. It's a uniquely French brand of seduction, a whispered portrait of a sentiment that is as dark as it is attractive. It's also a testament to the fact that people love a good story.
Listen, and get captivated.
