Never heard of XYLØ? No worries. They've only released one track, so you can be forgiven if you didn't contribute to the 900,000 plus plays on their soundcloud for "America"—a slab of gorgeously moody pop which dropped in February and caught fire. Below is their follow up, "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea," a tune laden with militaristic snare ratatats and weird electronic sonic tweaks (in the chorus) that oddly remind me of "Underwater Love" by Smoke City (man, I wish they made Levi's commercials like this still. Props to Michel Gondry for directing this ad). In any case, vocalist Paige Duddy breathes a dreamy sensuality into this tune, composed with her partner in crime, Chase Duddy. Keep your ears perked for more from this LA-based duo and in the meantime, listen below.
