If Emmecosta’s new single is named A Mountain From Us, the distance to that mountain must be a cool undulating, luxuriantly rippling ocean, in which we float in bliss to the Swedish duo’s chillwavey electronica. The song comes from the pair’s new EP, Velour, and it truly is a plushly woven, dreamy wafting selection from the four track release. A Mountain From Us is like Washed Out with a hint of pulsating Chromatics-like Italo disco darkness. Emmecosta states about their song: "’Velour’ is the feeling of unshakable longing for a place we’ve never been. This is a specific form of wanderlust – a craving for a distant land or a deep feeling of ‘homesickness’ for a place we have never seen. We imagine distant places through small fragments: everyday life seen elsewhere. We are going through a strange sensation of disorientation, something magical seen from far away. We fall in love with this fragment. It holds the promise for more. We move around it.” You can stream Velour, out on ICEA, in full via Soundcloud, here.
