London producer Parris has shared a haunting new track entitled "My Beautiful Fantasy," off his forthcoming Your Kiss is Sour EP.

Using a sample of a mid-20th century analog synthesizer, the Soundman Chronicles boss emphasizes its beguilingly eerie tone by placing it front-and-center, and leaving it mostly unadorned. His approach is exceedingly minimal on the whole, making a bold statement by adding little more than emptiness, bass, and a slight handclap.

"This tune was made using a synth sound from a sci-fi film from the 50s," he explained to THUMP over email. "It just seemed so unique and ominous. I wanted to create something around the sample which was dread but also quite spacey."

Pre-order Your Kiss is Sour on Bandcamp before it comes out June 16 on UK label Hemlock, and listen to "My Beautiful Fantasy" below.
