Amidst lockdown, London based Italo-British experimental duo SOUP! collaborated with American singer and multimedia artist Meredith Adelaide to bring us abstract pop track, ‘All to Myself’.
A sort of how-to, ‘All to Myself’ tells a story of how allowing yourself to let go will let the right things boomerang back to you. “There should be no convincing ourselves that something is right for us. Letting go can be a meditation to help me gain clarity about the elements of what I want from what I’m letting go of," shared Meredith.
Though created remotely, SOUP!’s instrumentals pair seamlessly with Meredith’s vocals. “The track began with a kind of pitched-up vocal loop. To date, I have no idea what it is or where it came from. We jammed over this as a band and developed the current groove. Loads of crazy arpeggiators and guitar loops were added in the process. We really wanted it to sound as mad as possible,” explained Matt.
The tracks sweeping synths and mesmerizing beat make for the perfect anthem to our lockdown days. And when we tell you they sound like the perfect fusion of Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem, we MEAN IT. But we’ll let you decide for yourself…
