The keen reader might remember The Burton D’agostini Procedure from a feature we published earlier this year, praising ‘Do You Feel Alright’ as ‘a quirky aural fever dream’. You’ll be happy to know that things haven’t changed for the imaginative duo, and that they are now back with a brand new single, ‘Float Over Here’, taken from the overarching album ‘Standing with a Ghost’, both out now.
There’s a strange hypnotic effect that emerges from ‘Float Over Here’. Introduced by a psychedelic drum groove, the record truly shines through its quirky mix and expansive vocals, here delivered with particular gloominess and dark restraint. It could be said that there’s some minimalism in it, as the arrangement is rather sparse, yet it comes across as solid and vibrant due to its many sonic effects. Overall, the track maintains a constant kinetic lull, delivering three minutes of blissful escapism and gritty resolve.
Delving deeper into the creative process behind the track, Burton D’agostini Procedure explains: “We really pushed ourselves with production and arrangements. And mixed for a stereo experience. Headphones for best results.” The American pair is adamant about listeners making up their mind about the record, and we appreciate that. They are not holding our hands and pushing a particular message, instead creating a welcoming aural space that one can get lost in.
