With his new album, Funk Wav Bounces Vol 2, out next week, we take a look through the Scottish producer’s hit-studded career
20. Scissor Sisters – Only the Horses
dabbled in laid-back funk, 80s bounce and disco, it was this album closer – anchored by Canadian-Colombian Reyez’s roughly hewn vocal – that showed Harris could do downtempo. Over a simple scratchy guitar figure and pitter-patter beats, Reyez is allowed the space to pull the listener into her orbit.In recent years, Harris has funnelled his more dance-leaning output through his Love Regenerator pseudonym, creating ad-hoc singles that feel less pressured than his major-label output.
– Harris delivers some key lines including the brilliant instruction: “Tell your boyfriend hold your jar.”While it definitely suffers from being a We Found Love redux, there is something beautifully basic about the way Call My Name hoovers up various EDM strands. From the simple synth riff and signposted drops to the lacklustre “ah, oh, oh, oh” ad-libs, so much of it feels phoned in, yet as a whole it carries a strange magic.
