UK chill-out electronica duo Glide & Swerve, aka Ivan and Simon, began life in Hong Kong as a production outfit and promoters of the island’s most infamous parties (often 2 day affairs which attracted international travelers, ex-pats, and Hong Kong Chinese alike). Now they’re back in the UK and eager for everyone to hear what they’ve been coming up with.
The first single, from their brand new album Bring Back Love, “And I Smile,” is one of the albums few vocal tracks, and brings this smooth laid back hip hop beat to the table. The bass, sampled or not, reminds of ATCQ – Can I Kick It, and is augmented by e-piano phrases, apreggiated guitars and a smooth seductive female vocal sample.
If you like Zero 7, Lemon Jelly, Ultramarine or Massive Attack this duo is the sound for you.
enjoY!
