Introducing Tone of Arc "Goodbye Horses" Single + FREE download [No.19 Music]
No.19 Music continues to champion a new breed of emotive techno and sinuous deep house and looks once again to the multi-talented Tone of Arc for their latest single, an atmospheric cover version of the 1988 hit "Goodbye Horses." The release also features a remix from the ever-excellent Deniz Kurtel.
No.19 Music, formed from the Canadian brain trust of Jonny White [one-half of Art Department] & Nitin Kalyan, has been keeping up the momentum in 2012 with a string of quality releases from the likes of Art Department & Konrad Black, Ali Love, Cameo Culture and Tone of Arc.
Tone of Arc is San Francisco based, multi-instrumentalist producer Derrick Boyd, along with partner/vocalist Zoe Presnick. Derrick has been a fixture on the electronic music scene for a number of years but it’s since hooking up with Jonny White and No.19 that his star has really ascended. Their debut single "Shaking the Sky/No Pushers" received broad critical acclaim on its release earlier this year and saw them featured widely in the international press and their sound being imprinted on dance floors around the globe.
Now Tone of Arc is backed with a brand new release that is set to give an insight into the broader musical realms of which they inhabit. The record opens up with "Goodbye Horses," a cover of the 1988 Q Lazzarus hit that famously featured in the film ‘Silence of the Lambs.’ Boyd treats the composition with a deft touch, staying true to the original in many ways whilst bringing his own unique sound to bear, a dark edged eighties electro feel runs throughout and Boyd’s own vocals soar over the arrangement with real power, quality stuff indeed.
"Goodbye Horses" is followed by one of Boyd’s original compositions, the excellent "Soundsail" featuring vocals from Boyd and partner Zoe Presnick. The track has a distinctly Balearic feel with its repeated piano chords and uplifting vocal elements playing off the rolling rhythms and deep pads/synths. The original version is complimented by a remix from Crosstown Rebels / Wolf + Lamb artist Deniz Kurtel, as she turns "Soundsail" into a stripped and ethereal reworking that is brilliantly hypnotic and a perfect late night twist on Boyd’s original.
