\u201c\u0101fa\u201d by 15 15<\/strong>\u00a0(formerly known as Quinze Quinze<\/em><\/a>) \u2013 the Parisian\/Tahitian collective with a knack for bending time and genres across complete opposite time zones just dropped a new sonic pearl from their upcoming project, and let\u2019s just say\u2026 we\u2019re spiraling in blissful anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After hypnotizing us with the glitchy smoothness of\u00a0\u201cLe Jeune<\/strong><\/a>\u201c<\/a>, the ceremonial groove of\u00a0\u201cVarua<\/strong><\/a>,\u201d and the lush crescendo of\u00a0\u201cBolero<\/a>,<\/strong>\u201d the crew is back with\u00a0\u201c\u0100fa,\u201d a track that sounds like it was recorded underwater, on a different planet, while sipping fermented uru juice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The vocals float like ghostly chants caught in tropical reverb, the percussion slinks in sideways like a cat that knows it\u2019s cooler than you, and the whole track shimmers with that signature 15 15<\/a><\/strong> texture \u2013 otherworldly, polyrhythmic, and subtly hallucinogenic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
