Banvox - Umbrella feat Miyu Yamabe

http://soundcloud.com/maltine-record/banvox-umbrella-feat

As promised, here is another killer track hot off of Maltine Records! This gorgeous gem by the amazing Banvox really captures what I was saying I love so much about Maltine's collective sound: the J-Pop energy, complex and thoughtful use of musical theory and the originality (not to mention sweet flow) of Flume. I love this track's synths: they are crisp and precise, yet they still make massive hits with each chord. I not only love the simmering, trap-inspired drums and high hat,  but I find them quite necessary. He couldn't have pulled off the syncopated timing, the swinging vibe of the song with out the sizzle of the high hat as well as the deep hits from the toms and bass drum. Of course, I absolutely love the vocals,  and I believe Miyu has created clean, direct vocals which pair perfectly with the floating, sidechained synth chords. Just when you think the synths couldn't take the track soaring any higher, her voice hits those clear falsetto notes just right. I believe this track is an amazing blend of three titanic genres of music from across the globe: J-Pop, indie electronic and festival trap. Banvox nailed this one, and I hope you'll agree.  Enjoy!
