Does moving to L.A. make people sad? On Daktyl’s new single, “The Act of Hesitation,” the recent Southland transplant seems to have left all the jungle breaks and Bonobo-tourmate-appropriate drops back in his native London in exchange for something a little more wistful.
Capturing an introversion maybe more natural to a colder British climate, this track suggests driving alone down Wilshire Boulevard during the most somber sunset ever. Fellow countryman Krrum completes the vibe with a pen-pal vocal assist pretty much asking “You making friends out there, mate?” It’s a good look, like putting on extra big sunglasses to discreetly cry behind.
Daktyl’s new LP, also called The Act of Hesitation, drops June 20 on Ninja Tune imprint Counter.
