Danish artists Sekuoia and Kill J team up on new single "Lamp In The Dark"

Danish talents Sekuoia and Kill J have joined together for sultry synthpop mindworm "Lamp In The Dark".

The song's a windswept affair, shot through with Jai Paul-esque synth parps and sparse guitar, with downtempo fragments and Kill J's piercing vox warped and twisted throughout. "Lamp In The Dark" is remarkably assured, and points to a bright future.

Copenhagen-based producer Sekuoia says of the track: "The process was one of the most creative things I’ve done. Kill J had some really good input regarding the production, and I had a bit of input towards some vocal aspects. For me, she was the ideal collab."

Kill J adds: “It’s a song about being wanted, like a lamp in the dark. They would all flock around me to give me their love, and I didn’t want it. Now the tables have turned so I'm on the receiving end, and it’s agony – just waiting for my heart to grow cold”.

"Lamp In The Dark" is out now via Nowadays. Sekuoia's debut album is expected later this year.
