Silent Jay & Jace XL

Sydney label Plastic World are soon to be releasing a 16-track compilation, featuring some of the best Australian artists making music right now. Simply titled Volume 1, the release has collected unreleased music from artists including Sampa the Great, Dreems, Tim Shiel and more. The release's first single was "MS-DOS" by The Possé, and today we're blessed with "Tides" by Silent Jay and Jace XL, a phenomenal collaborative duo in their own right, although you may be more aware of Jace from his involvement with the legendary Hiatus Kaiyote. Following on from their brilliant mini-album Sacrifice which dropped earlier this year, Tides is just gorgeous. Upbeat, funky synths lay the foundations beneath Jace's beautiful, honeyed vocals. Coupled with harmonies, backing vocals and a delicate rhythm, this track is rich and textured, with Jay's bars adding another smooth layer to the wonderful track, which makes its mark as the opening number for the full compilation. You can check out all the details here before it comes out on August 18.
