Love Somebody Else

from An Incorruptible Dream by SPECTORAL

/

about

Spectoral’s sprawling “Love Somebody Else” is a pop record built upon the idea of representing the natural world with synthetic sound design. Bird calls are represented by sampled fax machines and dial up modems while breezy pads wander below the insect-like chirps of CD-skipping clicks.

Produced by Spectoral, the track was co-written and co-produced by Australian hitmakers Tim McArtney and Tim Watt (George Maple, Flume, Touch Sensitive), with Watt handled mixing duties. The track has been mastered by the world class Ben Feggans at Studios 301 (Hayden James, Flume. Ngaiire).

"I was watching David Attenborough's Planet Earth II one night and got super inspired by the scene with the male widow birds.” says the producer. “They have these ridiculously long tails that makes it super hard to fly and survive, but they turn this burden into an advantage for attracting a mate. I really liked that."

Spectoral’s sultry, synthesized vocals carry the listener through clever lyrical similes as the future-soul producer lets the “dawn chorus of a beating heart” call us to “start to learn to love somebody else”. By the end of it’s tight 3:35 runtime you’ll have this record well and truly stuck in your head.

Dave Ruby Howe, Music Director of Triple J Home & Hosed, describes Spectoral as an artist who "can be relied on to deliver highly detailed productions with unshakable earworm qualities at their core". ... more
