Sun-kissed (42 Degrees C)

Altoduo

Get ready to bask in the musical sunshine as Singapore’s premier math-rock duo, Altoduo, releases their latest single, "Sun-kissed (42 Degrees C)." This track is your new go-to jam for those laid-back summer vibes, blending lush synths, smooth bass, and intricate rhythms. "Sun-kissed (42 Degrees C)" was born from Wini's chill-hop playlist binge sessions, aiming to hit that sweet spot between catchy and feel-good. With influences from J Dilla's iconic beats and a sprinkle of math-rock magic, this song is a perfect concoction of chill and complex. JP’s touch of 2000’s trip-hop nostalgia adds an extra layer of groove that’ll have you hooked. This track sees Altoduo embracing a more relaxed, chill-hop sound while keeping their math-rock roots alive. Expect acoustic drums, silky bass lines, and subtle synths all wrapped up in a warm, sunny package. And let’s not forget the quirky movie dialogue sample that bookends the piece, adding a touch of vintage charm. The single’s cover, crafted by resident artist Rei Yukon, features JP’s pet dog Rudolph soaking up the sun. It’s a nod to finding joy in simple moments and the effortless bliss of a sun-drenched afternoon. The artwork’s sketchy, ink-like style captures the essence of carefree summer days, making it the perfect visual companion to the track.
