TÂCHES and Eli & Fur Come Together for Eerie, Anxious House On "Lookalike"

Self-proclaimed shallow house producer TÂCHES, and English duo Eli & Fur have shared their first collaborative single, "Lookalike," currently premiering on THUMP ahead of its release on March 25. Rising out of a muffled, ominously churning intro, the track's anxious funk gets a lot of its character from percussive clicking and a breathy vocoder figure. An eerie nervous energy overshadow's the mood, and a cleanness washes over the production value of a track that's a dancefloor-ready, dark interpretation of European house.

TÂCHES conjured an evocative—if somewhat bizarre—image for THUMP over email of how the track came to be: "I liked working with Eli & Fur because they make competent lunch choices," he said. "Moreover, they also like dogs. The song was made in a dimly lit cupboard, filled with the scent of too many different incense sticks. We all spent a lot of time switching seats and standing up and moving awkwardly to each new musical addition."

Hear the track below, and get it when it's out on Different Recordings on March 25.
