If you ever had to define the aural equivalent of paradise, the debut single by Berlin via Gothenburg duo Iberia would be a worthwhile candidate.
The project of Alexander Palmestål (no stranger to the pages of Best Fit) and Maja Millner (of Makthaverskan), Iberia is the sound of a million adjectives colliding. Millner’s heavenly vocals nestle themselves against wave after serene wave of electronic texture: dream pop in its truest most delicate form. The video too, a feast for the senses – featuring footage of ‘freediver’ Guillaume Néry exploring the depths of the ocean.
Backed by b-side ‘A Finale’, ‘An Ending (Ascent)’ is out now via Hybris with a debut full length to follow in 2013.
