The Antenna Tribe – “Plain Sight (Not The Same Song)” ft. Silke

One thing that refreshingly distinguishes the downtempo project The Antenna Tribe from its peers and contemporaries is that it never makes the same track back-to-back. The only things that are a given are the superb and sultry vocals, and the textured musical soundscapes that glisten with luxurious rhythms. For this particular new record, “Plain Sight (Not The Same Song)”, The Antenna Tribe worked with the exquisite singer Silke. With its buzzing bassline, warm keys and crackling percussion sounds against a steady, pulsating beat, this is a seductive track with a yearning sound, in the emotional sense.

Haunting, dreamy and elegant, the gorgeous-sounding “Plain Sight (Not The Same Song)” ft. Silke, is both gauzy and airy with a solid foundation beating at its core. Beneath the glamorous and perfectionist sheen of the music, The Antenna Tribe’s lyrics are a combination of mysticism, introspection, and romantic yearning, a contrast to some of electronic music’s decadence and hedonism.
