Polytekk– I Want You (featuring Frances Mitchell)
Tuesday 19th January, 2016
They Say: “Lately with all the work going into my new E.P I just felt like I needed a small switch up track, something to rest my ears to. Always one for trying to push my boundaries and seeing what I can develop on the fly, I decided to grab my guitar and record a few licks. I also used some pre-recorded licks I recorded a few years ago and I was able to get the melody going fairly quick. I was just in the mood for something funky with an electronic background.
Out of the blue on one of our normal chats I happened to show it to Frances and again (like every track I send her) she got the vibe really, really fast. She recorded the vocals and within a week or so we had a pretty solid track. Just a nice change from the genre I'm concentrating on for the new E.P”
We Say: “Another trans-Atlantic working between Co.Antrim born - but Canada based - Barry Burrows, AKA Polytekk and Loris’ Frances Mitchell. To think that this is the end result of ‘a few licks’ bubbling away in the background is impressive indeed. We look forward to February and what that new E.P might bring us”
Polytekk’s ‘Mid Atlantic’ E.P was released last year. The new E.P is expected later next month. Loris play the Empire, Belfast on 18th March with The Wood Burning Savages and Conor Scott
