Sweden's Blänk, an electropop/hip-hop trio, are showcasing their new single "Tears Run Dry" exclusively on Best Fit.
The track is their first single in almost three years, and it sees them veer between JJ and a sadcore version of Die Antwoord. Blizzard synths howl through cavernous beats while vocals - both sinewy pitch-shifts and sweet coos - float on clouds above. It's drizzled with pop panache, but there's plenty of ingenuity that makes you rubberneck as it whizzes past.
The three-piece's forthcoming LP Only Built For Northern Lights is due out on 9 March via Grind Records.
