New art house single is like popping a pill in a German club.

 

Calling to mind Todd Terje or John Maus in its quirks and curious exploration of electronic music, as well as giving a passing nod to krautrock pioneers Kraftwerk, Das Lebenslied is a beguiling introduction to the work of The Policy.

As you might guess by the comparison to Kraftwerk, the single is an enthralling dive into a vortex of lo-fi synths, steady house drums and robotic vocals. It’s a fascinating art-house project that takes you on a journey that passes language barriers and oozes universal appeal. Whether it’s late night or early morning, it’s a perfect form of escape from reality.
