“Tongue Particles” is a dreamy electro-pop offering from Stockholm-based artist Sebastian Clarin, following up last year’s debut album Aerial Cuts. New-wave and electro-pop influence converge with a more stately singer/songwriter appeal, as the vocals exude a deep-toned confidence with wry wit.
A buzzing synth arp finds brighter accompaniments in twinkling keys and an escalating vocal passion. “She was a vampire,” the vocals let out during a twinkling rise. “But now I’m lost in your eyes,” they admit, surrounded by a glitzy synth-fronted appeal that shows shades of Erasure. “I need you, I don’t need you,” marks a catching refrain, building with cohesive enthrallment into a reprisal of the “she was a vampire,” hook. “Tongue Particles” is a steadily melodic single with a reverberating electro-pop tonal consistency.
