Petite Noir - Till We Ghosts (brand new from South Africa)
Till We Ghosts is the stunning debut single on Bad Life from Capetown based producer Yannick Iluga aka Petite Noir. A unique concoction of influences, Petite Noir is able to seamlessly fuse intricate contemporary electronics with his stirring, soulful vocal and African shuffles that echo his homeland. Haunting and commanding, a voice that sounds like it carries the ghostly tales of centuries before, billowing through a beautifully lit electronic menagerie of shimmering guitar riffs weaved through drums, clunking percussion, and reverbed effects all draped across a distant clap that keeps the beat alive from a distance. The ability to meld traditional South African sounds of the past with future-thrusting production, whilst picking up bits of influence from across the genre spectrum, is truly an art. Seriously, mind has been blown.
To quote The Guardian on this one, “The first three words are Oh my God, which is exactly how we felt when we heard this.”
