London Grammar - Hell To The Liars (Kolsch Remix)

One of my favourite albums of the year (electronic or otherwise) is London Grammar's follow up to their sensational debut, If You Wait. Truth Is A Beautiful Thing features several sublime songs built around the breathtaking vocals of Hannah Reid, and the production of Dan Rathman and Dot Major. Of course their silence was broken with the resplendent single "Rooting For You," but as time wore on, I found myself falling more and more in love with the hair-raising, "Hell To The Liars." So it should come as no surprise that when a clip of Kolsch playing his remix at Glastonbury appeared on the internet, I lost it.

I've written here before about the absolutely incredible library Rune Reilly Kolsch has to his name, and there's no questioning the quality of this latest installment. The atmosphere is unmistakably Kolsch's, featuring his standard thumping bass and brilliant slow burning builds. But it's not just a massive magnitude that makes Kolsch so captivating, it's his ability to weave magical melodies so seamlessly into his epic productions. Hannah's vocals lead the track, but the bed Kolsch has built is no mere mat, it's a marvel of its own. While both the acapella and the instrumental could stand on their own, this is a clear case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. Sheer and absolute brilliance shines throughout the nearly 13 minutes of magic. Stream below or download from your favourite outlet here.FOLLOW KOLSCH: FACEBOOK SOUNDCLOUD TWITTER
