SBTRKT - Temporary View (ft. Sampha)

There’s bound to be a seismic shift in the way SBTRKT goes about things on his second LP, but he’s keeping things classic in every way possible for his return proper. ‘Temporary View’ retains the distinct synth flicks, the fairly strict, structured electronic percussion of his breakthrough debut. Best of all, Sampha returns; the fast-rising vocalist who shares a certain kinship with SBTRKT, both artists favouring the take-your-time approach instead of rushing into the spotlight.

‘Temporary View’, then, is in actual fact a song devoted to the permanence of things. Sampha and SBTRKT are a perfectly constant fixture. Invite one to a dinner party and the other one will tag along. Be this a deceiving red herring of what’s to come, or simply a reminder of how much substance a good combination can produce, ‘Temporary View’ keeps SBTRKT fans hanging onto his every move.
