Three years ago A Mountain Of One released an album called Stars Planets Dust Me, a kaleidoscopic swirl of Balearic, cosmische, spaced out synthpop and dub all wrapped up in a sunbaked, psychedelic sheen. I went back into it recently and it still sounds good, the sort of album that you have to play from start to finish, an entire piece and a bit of a trip. There's a lot going on under the shiny surface.
This track, Dealer, is deceptively poppy, shooting off from the start like an 80s car advert or cop show incidental music but then hitting a deeper groove, the vocal sounding increasingly intense as the music- bass, synths, guitars, drums- powers on. 'All night/ All in the night', he sings, on and on and then at six and a half minutes it stops, pauses and then re-starts, the vocal flipped backwards, sucking in on itself all the way through to the end.
