1TBSP DROPS QUIRKY ELECTRONIC SINGLE “SLEEVES TOUCH MY ELBOWS”

Following up lush and cathartic EP It’s Very Loud in March, Brisbane DJ-producer 1tbsp teases his forthcoming album later this year with electronic gem Sleeves Touch My Elbows featuring Mora Y Los Metegoles.

An indie-house project from GRAMMY Award nominated songwriter and producer Maxwell Bryne A.KA. wildly successful project Golden Vessel, 1tbsp first formed when he dove into the house music world while researching songs to perform at his monthly Sumoclic Nights events in Brisbane. His previous Golden Vessel moniker amassed a loyal following with singles like Hesitate with Emerson Leif, which amassed over 32M Spotify streams. 

Constantly enhancing an exciting release schedule, new single Sleeves Touch My Elbows was born when 1tbsp came across Gran remera by Moro Y Los Metegoles on an Instagram story, blown away and enchanted by its message of how something as simple as wearing your favourite shirt can put you at ease. He eventually reached out to Mora to sample the track in order to fulfil his vision of something high energy and dense, drawing on modular and eurorack elements with vocals that worked effortlessly over his chord compositions from his friend’s studio in Vienna. The track is a culmination of 1tbsp’s fascination with songwriting in different countries which he first developed when hearing Rosalía’s iconic music, intrigued and excited by how receptive non-spanish speaking people are towards tone of voice and delivery rather than the lyrics. 

Marking the first track of his upcoming album later this year, Sleeves Touch My Elbows pairs 1tbsp’s global research into music scenes that speak Spanish/Portuguese across South America and Africa with a love for modular, ambient, and experimental sounds. A bouncy and relentless beat coupled with the youthful and endearingly catchy flows of Moro Y Los Metegoles, 1tsbp’s newest offering Sleeves Touch My Elbows makes for a pearly indie house anthem.
