Following the scorching ‘DON’T LISTEN’, released last June, corto.alto is treating us again with another banger. The Glaswegian trombone wizard and genre-defying powerhouse has just released ‘VANDAL’, a new single featuring German producer and composer Moses Yoofee. “I made VANDAL at the beginning of this year, during a period where I was pushing myself to explore the boundaries between live instruments and the sonics usually found in electronic music,” Shortall explained. “Moses and I worked together in Berlin on the vocal sample, using his sampled vocals exclusively as a melodic instrument rather than a lyrical one. I titled the track VANDAL as a reminder to myself that rules in music are meant to be torn apart.” He continues:
“Moses Yoofee is not only one of my favourite artists right now, but also one of my closest friends in the future-jazz scene. We have really connected on both sharing that same mission to blur the lines between the acoustic and the electronic, which made this collaboration feel like it was waiting to happen. We’ve crossed paths on remixes and projects before, but VANDAL marks our first official release together – and I couldn’t be more excited to share it.”
Out now through Ninja Tune, ‘VANDAL’ comes with an accompanying video filmed by Grace Richardson and you can watch it below.
