Miracle Fortress - "Let Me Be The 1". Just a damn splendour of a track; "Let Me Be The 1" unites all of Graham Van Pelt's recent feints, forays and experiments, from Five Roses' sumptuous romanticism to Inside Touch's sleek dance pulse. On these early listens it feels more adventurous and more successful than 2011's Was I The Wave?: listen to all that space, the way it weirdly winds from Fleetwood Mac to Studio to something that's almost piano house. It's a song with a sharply angled vocal hook & yet also four minutes of wide open space, synths and fingersnaps, a sunsetting fadeout. It's a song with its own mirror-image, its own afterhour denouement; an inhalation and an exhalation, or just a hand in a hand.
I love "Let Me Be The 1"'s patience, and its nerve. I love its love. I love that it is not rushing; but it's ready to. It's practiced. It's in its blocks. It's ready.
[Miracle Fortress's third album has yet to be announced.]
