Theophilus London collabs with Ariel Pink on New Track

The new Theophilus London/Ariel Pink track “Revenge” just dropped via Fools Gold and has immediately made the world seem a little bit brighter. All bop and bounce and filled with one of the hookiest vocal melodies that I’ve heard recently, “Revenge” capitalizes on the strengths of both of its notorious collaborators. The song kicks off with a strong four on the floor kick drum that is complimented with a bass line that is so dug into the groove it’s practically buried up to it’s knees. It then opens right up with some bright, chiming guitar swells and a slinky, airy synth that floats and bubbles up from just below the “See How They Run” gang vocals of the chorus.

“Revenge”, with it’s 80s pastiche, isn’t setting any new trends but it does capture and demonstrate the talent of these two fine artists. Plus any song that can come out strong out of nowhere, make you want to dance and directly forget the woes of the day, even for a time, is something that should definitely be noted.
