Chew Lips have a new single out and it's better than the 'Solo' for many reasons: Tig's (diva) voice sounds more trained and polished; the lyric features the amazing line that names the track "You're an ocean, I'm salt air"; the electronic instrumental suits her voice better; and finally, it's simply a catchier song. Think of a more classy version of Gossip's 'Standing in the Way of Control' for a whole new synthpop generation.
And all you fans of sepia colors and old-looking graphics will be pleased to know that the video features exactly both of these technologies and shows the band doing a live performance. Don't forget to note that Tigs (the singer) has got one point hotter after becoming really short haired and another for becoming blonde (although she was still a brunette in the video).
If 'Solo' had Tepr and David Sugar remixing it (check both versions here), 'Salt Air' got Jupiter, Two Door Cinema Club and Dekker & Johan in which Valerie's Jupiter is clearly a stand out with his '80s synths and fresh feel (try to work that out in your head), but it doesn't mean the other remixes are bad. Two Door Cinema Club's version sounds like early CSS stuff - dancefloor electro; while Dekker & Johan explore synths in a very '90s way. 'Salt Air' will be released via Kitsuné on the 6th of July.
