Clothing — the duo of Aakaash Israni (Dawn of Midi) and Ben Sterling (Cookies, Mobius Band) — have released a new track, ‘Modern Interiors’, featuring Anna Wise. It follows their debut single, ‘Kingdom’, a collaboration with Dirty Projectors’ Amber Coffman. Take a listen below.
“We experimented a lot when we started making music together, and ‘Modern Interiors’ was one of the first songs to come into focus,” Clothing explained in a statement. “The verse parts sort of flicker in and out, but make their own momentum when taken all together. That was an early guide for us: using silence and simplicity to make music float in a complex way.”
“The lyric is about the push and pull of everything, the ‘I need you / I don’t need you’ inside of almost everything,” they added. “It’s such a human state of mind, but also so obviously reflected back to us in nature and especially (at least for the purposes of this song!) the ocean.”
