The first single from Füxa’s forthcoming Dirty D album, ‘Sun is Shining’ b/w ‘Inside’ presents the two rapturous extremes of Randall Nieman’s experiments with melody, repetition and synthesiser manipulation. ‘Sun is Shining’ is a beautifully deranged, Suicide-with-sunstroke warning lullaby against nuclear warfare (‘don’t let it burn your eyes in…’), and sees Füxa rekindle a partnership with Ann Shenton of Add N to X. Thirteen years have passed since the artists originally locked synthesisers on the Add N to Fü(X)a EP (also on Rocket Girl), and the playful deliriousness of that collaboration has retained its blistering buoyancy here.
Where ‘Sun is Shining’ offers solarised rapture, ‘Inside’ is distinctly lunar, crepuscular. Two elegant, electronic chords play out over a tumbling, weightless bass line, offering a sound that could have emerged from deep space or the deeps of the sea – and reiterates Nieman’s mastery and versatility in honing a most extraordinary form of pop.
This limited edition - 7" (500 only) on yellow sunshine coloured vinyl with blue splashes - is out now.
