We’re pleased to premiere the consuming track “Tiny Violin” from Yardgames, the pop project of New York-based artist Will Ian Lakritz (5thPlanet, Pajama People, Panama Papers, Salvador Jolly). Aesthetically, the track touts a fond likeness to Toro y Moi, utilizing nocturnal synth tones alongside a vibrant vocal lead and a touch of funk in the wispy melodic effects. There’s an engaging variation between lusher, sparser sections and those with hectic droplets of synths. Following a number of EPs, and a debut album — Limbo — in 2011, the project describes the album “Tiny Violin” is on — Out of Orbit — as Yardgames’ “final statement.” If that’s truly the case, the project puts a stellar cap to the discography with “Tiny Violin” and Out of Orbit, which can be streamed in full below:
