Danny L Harle joins forces with Caroline Polachek on new single, "Azimuth"
London-based musician, composer and producer Danny L Harle has released his latest single, "Azimuth", featuring vocals from long-time collaborator Caroline Polachek.
The song marks the latest evolution in one of contemporary pop’s most compelling creative partnerships – a journey that started in earnest with Polachek’s 2019 solo album Pang, deepened on 2023’s equally acclaimed Desire, I Want To Turn Into You and now crystalises with Harle’s own solo work as he moves further into the spotlight as an artist.
Speaking about “Azimuth”, Danny L Harle says: “‘Azimuth’s melody could only have been sung by Caroline, it is designed around her voice, I couldn’t imagine anyone else singing it or giving a performance like that. It also allowed us to play with scale, space and quietness in a way I’ve never done before. For me, “Azimuth” is a trance ballad, despairing but hopeful, best heard in a in club in a sunken cathedral’
"Azimuth" is out now via XL Recordings.
