Yesterday an email arrived that was polite and succinct. The perfect email, in other words. It also contained links to some good music, which only made it better. The email went like this: "Hi, my name is Will Archer. I'm 19 years old, living in Brixton and I make music as Slime. Would you like to write about my song?" It helps when said song – the minimal 2 Player – also features vocals by Will's friend Lewis, aka the mysterious Vondelpark, a man so coy about sharing any information that he doesn't even have a MySpace page and the only interview he seems to have done is this fairly awkward exchange with Vice.
Over a simple guitar figure and distant drums, the song ebbs and flows with Lewis's forlorn vocal. It's not a big, showy number packed with production bells and whistles – instead it relies on gaps and spaces to lure you in.
