Louisiana wunderkind Christoph Andersson returns with “Metropol,” a slinky house number that slides on (and slips off) like a silk kimono. Andersson’s resampled vocals create a formant-shifted choir around a rubbery funk bassline, while an Eastern-flavored synth line rings out like a koto above it all, as if New Order had been remixing songs off of The Cure’s Japanese Whispers. JAPANESE WHISPERS CAME OUT TEN YEARS BEFORE CHRISTOPH ANDERSSON WAS BORN.
An engaging and polished track, “Metropol” went instantly into my own personal playlist.
