Listen: William Arcane – Want Somebody

Singer-songwriter come electronic production whiz William Arcane has surfaced again with a new track ‘Want Somebody’. The follow-up to his March drop ‘Not The Only One’, both tracks will feature on the Londoner’s debut EP Permanence.

Muddied and pitch-shifted vocals compliment the simple staccato melody of fizzling synths and choppy percussive ticks and tocks. Arcane’s less is more production savvy proves a breath of fresh air. Joined by some chintzy keyboard stabs and woozy sampler sounds as the track wheels into the final third; Arcane’s disembodied tones rippling like skipping stones across the surface of a tranquil lagoon to the fade.

Permanence is out on 10 June via Pictures Music.
