BANKS - This Is What It Feels Like
“This Is What It Feels Like” is from the self-taught pianist and singer’s LONDON EP (out now). The song, and its heart-crushing lyrics, has been raved about by Pitchfork, Pigeons and Planes, Prefix, Idolator, SPIN and more, plus features an exciting collaboration with producers Lil Silva and musician/producer Jamie Woon.
The track has received more than 270,000+ plays since its debut two
weeks ago, and early supporters include tastemakers such as KCRW and BBC Radio 1 - Zane Lowe. The EP, which also includes collaborations with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, SOHN and Tim Anderson, establishes the BANKS sound
– a place where sparse clicky beats, wiry basslines, mercurial synths,
confessional lyrics, and seductive melodies coalesce.
