Los Angeles based Imperative Reaction returns with the new single Surface. The new single features two new songs and remixes from artists Sebastian Komor, Scandy, Rotersand, Shok and The Pull Out Kings. Surface and the b-side “What Is Left To Say (Club Edit)” show IR's mastermind Ted Phelps further refining his now signature sound. Catchy hooks and driving rhythms blend with intensely personal lyrics and anthemic choruses, turning Surface into a cathartic musical experience and an intriguing hint as to what Imperative Reaction have in store for the next album.
Always venturing into new sounds but keeping things catchy throughout, this single almost gives me IAMX/Kite vibes. It has been super cool having a different AE song set the tone for each month, I love this approach Ned Michaels
I can't think of this as a soundtrack, but as a landscape or mirage, if you will. Paying attention, it becomes living. It goes places. Exuberant. felipe_serra
