Swindle finds the point where jazz and space meet on new cut "Reach The Stars"

Swindle's "Reach The Stars", featuring soul-singer Andrew Ashong, blurs the lines between jazz instrumentals and inter-galactic melodies and distortion.

"Reach The Stars" is like a clashing print outfit, there's something jarring to the eye (or ear in this case) but the feeling is somehow right.

Swindle finds that perfect blend through whimsical keys melodies and a funky bassline that is delivered with pulses of electronic distortion.

Andrew Ashong's contributing vocals swerve between pristine soul and fun warping that sounds like an astronaut trying to reach base through interferring signals.

Delivered with confidence, "Reach The Stars" is a distorted and dreamy insight into the complexities and intricate producing that Swindle has floating around his head at the moment.

Swindle recently worked on Kojey Radical's Mahalia collaboration "Water", and has previously teamed up with Goldie, JME, Ghetts, D Double E and more.

"Reach The Stars" is out now on Brownswood Records. Find Swindle on Instagram.
