Creep 'Days (featuring Remy Madley Croft of The xx)' (Young Turks, 2010) (Stream)

It would seem that the Young Turks label is on a spectacular roll at the moment. If I were them I would a lottery ticket. First The xx, then Glasser, SBTRKT and now Creep.

'Days' bursts into life with what, to be honest, is a pretty naff, curly synth sound that belongs in Blakes 7 (ask yer dad) before settling into a menancing synth bass groove and Remy Madley Croft's dulcet tones. It's cold wave-y and austere musically but the vocal is, in stark contrast, warm and intimate.

A swoonsome brush of shimmering guitar adds colour and the track shifts in intensity, creating a mood of late night, sodium-lit contemplation.

It's a real grower and a fine, fine track.

Available to buy with, like, money and shit direct from the Young Turks webshop.
