TRACKLIST A1. No Words A2. No Words (DJ Tennis Remix) B1. No Words (Perel Remix) B2. No Words (Perel Remix Dub Version) INFO Electronic duo Pale Blue return to Crosstown Rebels with ËœNo Wordsâ„¢, the second single from their forthcoming album ËœMariaâ„¢, with remixes from DJ Tennis and Perel. Italians Do It Better founder Mike Simonetti and Silver Handsâ„¢ Elizabeth Wightâ„¢s rich and storied careers within the electronic realm and beyond only elevated further with the launch of their Pale Blue project in 2015, unveiling a series of critically acclaimed releases via Simonettiâ„¢s 2MR imprint with plaudits including Pitchfork, FACT and Resident Advisor, to name just a few. Having provided the first look into their forthcoming album on Crosstown Rebels entitled ËœMariaâ„¢, scheduled for release on the label later this year, the pair return to open March with the second single from the project, ËœNo Wordsâ„¢ - accompanied by remixes from DJ Tennis and Perel. Detailing the backstory to the record, Simonetti notes both upcoming single ËœNo Wordsâ„¢ and the majority of the tracks on the duoâ„¢s forthcoming album project were made on the exact synths used to create Jaydeeâ„¢s iconic 1993 hit, ËœPlastic Dreamsâ„¢. Guided by a captivating bassline accented by Wightâ„¢s charming vocals, which flutter amongst the mix, ËœNo Wordsâ„¢ is a hooky and compelling production that ebbs and flows across its near five-minute duration with effortless ease, capturing the playful nature alluded to by Simonetti. Life and Death head honcho DJ Tennisâ„¢ remix arrives next, veering down a hazy yet absorbing path as crisp organic drums and engrossing melodies form around the vocals and journey through light and dark textures. The B-side of the record belongs to DJ/producer, vocalist and DFA Records favourite Perel, offering a cosmic dive through spacey synths, skittering bleeps and pops, and tough kicks across her take on the production - before distorting and warping the vocals and shifting the emphasis on the ever-evolving electronics across her ËœDub Versionâ„¢.
