London due Oh Wonder are known for their luscious productions that have topped Hypemachine an incredible six times already. Releasing one song a month for a year, Anthony and Josephine are currently on their sixth release – with their seventh due 1st March. As if they’re not busy enough, the pair have found time to put together a Slumber Session for i-D, featuring not only a couple of their own awesome compositions, but also offerings from Chilly Gonzalez and James Vincent McMorrow. Sit back, relax and hit play on this swoonsome selection of sleep-inducing sounds…
Despite the colourful artwork, “Technicolour Beat” feels somehow mellow and gentle like some of duo’s previous releases. The subtle and tiny bit “heavy” synths are perfectly blended by the softness of voices of Anthony & Josephine… seriously good release!
Oh Wonder – Technicolour Beat
Oh Wonder – Technicolour Beat Lyrics:
Lay down your slow
Come settle down, settle down
Let loose your glow
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
Jump into the heat
Spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat
You and me
Caught up in a dream
In a technicolour beat
Warm unalone
Come settle down, settle down
Swing me your bones
Come settle down, settle down
And I feel life for the very first time
Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes
I feel safe in the 5am light
You carry my fears as the heavens set fire
Jump into the heat
Spinning on our feet
In a technicolour beat
You and me
Caught up in a dream
In a technicolour beat
Give me one drop
I can feel you
Make me lose control
We be walking
On the water
We’re moving in a technicolour beat
Moving in a technicolour beat
Jump into the heat
(Falling off the ceiling)
Spinning on our feet
We’re moving in a technicolour beat
You and me
(Found another feeling)
Caught up in a dream
We’re moving in a technicolour beat
