‘An Order From The Top’ is the new single from live electronic collective N/UM’s upcoming LP and fifth release ‘Levers of History’.
The 13-minute track draws you in with a hypnotic groove, resonant percussion and a laid back bass line that slowly grows in intensity as you enter deeper into its world.
Once you are cocooned into the warm synths and meditative rhythms an otherworldly cry calls you upward to the vocals soaring hauntingly over the deep and dark groove.
As the track, recorded in a single improvised take by the New York live trio, moves along it develops steadily, opening up like a flower, unfolding acid bass lines and cascading guitar chords before landing back where it took off with the distinctive dark, melodic groove that stays with us long after the track has ended.
