Our feature today comes straight out of Los Angeles from an artist who we believe is set for big things – Banks. For the uninitiated, Banks is a singer songwriter who combines emotive vocal styling with surging and atmostpheric electronica. Banks has wasted no time making an impression following a series of releases in early 2013, she made waves quickly and as a result has just been asked to tour with The Weeknd across North America later this year. Following on from her stunning release ‘Warm Water’, which was produced by Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Banks has again delivered a unique and perhaps an even darker take on electronic pop. ‘Waiting Game’ deals with the insecurity and shattering uncertainty of the early stages of a relationship in a way which progresses as the track builds on a vocally centered structure, and continues by introducing warm synth lines and fluttering percussion. Produced by SOHN, another artist who we love and have featured on the site before, this track takes our pick of the day – no question! Waiting Game will be released later this year as part of an EP through Harvest Records / Good Years Recordings.
