Get dragged into the psychedelic-sick feels in the folds of Sebastian Clarin’s new electropop single, “Tongue Particles.” It’s the merging of darkness, deepness, and dance-pop that makes the song so versatile among listeners. Think of “Tongue Particles” as a cross-over between Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen, but not really. The songwriting is similar, but the soundscape is modern, feisty, and drug-dosed, with hazy electro-pop from the ’80s and ’90s shades marred over the words.
The origins of “Tongue Particles” are shrouded in mystique, as Clarin reveals that the song’s inception took place during an intense fever with chills fogging his senses. With the overwhelming temperature rose a euphoria that gave the track a dirty vibe. And there rose Clarin’s desire to submit to his partner.
In “Tongue Particles,” Clarin teams up with producer Tobias Isaksson, known for his work with Azure Blue and Nite Flights. Isaksson brings Clarin’s artistic vision to life, deftly capturing its essence while adding rich layers of analog synths. From the moment “Tongue Particles” begins, it captivates the listener with its pulsating energy. The raw and driving electronic beats create a foundation that pushes the song forward, while Clarin’s vocals weave through the richly layered soundscapes.
The atmospheric electronic elements, in combination with Clarin’s rich, tender vocals, create an immersive experience that transcends traditional boundaries. It’s a track that demands to be felt and experienced on a visceral level.
If you are planning to give it away on the dancefloor with a darker, groovier beat electrifying your senses all the way to your core, “Tongue Particles” by Sebastian Clarin is the song for you.
