\u201c\u0101fa\u201d by 15 15<\/strong> (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 “Le Jeune<\/strong><\/a>“<\/a>, the ceremonial groove of “Varua<\/strong><\/a>,” and the lush crescendo of “Bolero<\/a>,<\/strong>” the crew is back with “\u0100fa,” 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
