UK-based trio Made of Sand just dropped their latest track ‘This Girl/That Boy’, a sultry combination of mood lighting and classic disco flair. The band, consisting of Aaron Fross, Dan Rolfe, and Matthew Davis, has brought in a fresh slice of nu-disco and deep house, filling the soundscape to the brim with lilting synths and softly choreographed vocals.
This is one of those songs that brings in a cinematic flavor; with its drifty passages and fragmented notes, you feel gently pulled into the soundscape while still feeling grounded in reality, as the atmospheric haze is subtle and incandescent. As the lyrics sing about the slow act of letting go and surrendering oneself to the music, each instrumental layer unravels and distorts, with punchy bass grooves underneath while floaty synths decorate the tops, leaving the vocals to take the mid-sections. The overall production keeps the mix light and whisked in a way that’s very reminiscent of the early 2000s disco era. It’s a track that’ll keep the listener mildly buzzed with a 2 AM post-party wind-down shuffle, rather than the jittery, adrenaline-fueled energy of 11 PM.
