Ayer - Young


For their second single, Ayer slowed things down a bit.  The duo, consisting of a classic singer/producer pairing, are building up quite the campaign for their debut EP.  The follow-up to "Circle Down" is "Young", and it's tragically redeeming.  The track reminds me of some gem of a deep cut that the Scissor Sisters would've tackled on their last album.

There's also an alternate version that was reinvented by Mickey Valen.  It takes away some of the spiraling into pleasure feeling that drives "Young" and switches the mood around, making it uplifting in a more direct sense.

Listen to both versions of "Young" below...

Ayer - Circle Down


Forged from the depths of electronic beats and smoky soul vocals, Ayer is a Brooklyn based duo comprised of singer Danny Schmittler and producer Mickey Valen.  Their debut single "Circle Down" is a light and airy breeze of a track that'll surely leave you wanting more.  Fronted by a distinctively borderline falsetto, it's similar to the type of pop music that Kylie knows best. A fantastic melody, soft synths, and a sensual mood.

A full EP is due soon, most likely early next year, with another single coming before then.  You can stream and download "Circle Down" along with the Keljet remix below.
