New Music: Escort: "All Through the Night" / "All Through the Night (Rapture remix)" [Stream]
Good/bad news: Escort just released their "final" 12", according to the press release that accompanies "All Through the Night". Good news is that it'll be the last just while they take time to complete their upcoming full length album.
The "I'm about to pop" warning from vocalists Zena Kitt and Toy is worth noticing, because "All Through the Night" is all control, all precision, all good diction: Check the aspiration on the p's in "pop," the way a single string follows each syllable. Still there's something looser about this track than "Starlight" and "A Bright New Life", and it's not just the simple sentiment of the lyrics. "You don't have to hold my hand" and "you don't have to take me out" the vocalist promises, and it makes sense against the track's perfect synth flares and bubbles-- you need to relax, you need to give it up. She knows what she's doing. When the song flowers into shallow, blissful sighs, she's still in control-- even her orgasm stays on beat.
