Above is the beautiful song/video “Shortline” from Australia-via-LA singer/songwriter RY X (formerly Ry Cuming, also probably in the not-from-Berlin electronic duo The Acid) and electronic producer Frank Wiedemann, who is definitely from Berlin, who combined call themselves Howling. Got all that? No? Don’t worry about it. In either intentional hype-building mystery, or ineptitude, or a bit of both, the fog will eventually lift and we’ll all be better for it. But in the meantime, RY X, The Acid, and now Howling are three of the most exciting things I’ve heard this year, they’re all probably related, and they’re all just beginning to scratch the surface of their careers.
We’re all winners, is what I’m trying to say.
