Stockholm-via-London duo Nathalia Aránguiz and producer Ove Jerndal today provide a taste of their upcoming EP in the form of titular single ‘All Rights Reserved’ via 40 Miles. Listen to the single here.
Standing as the opening track of the mixtape, Nathalia raps: “You’re taking a big bite of my life, my future and my rights / Just wait ‘til I follow the light,” immediately establishing the project’s unapologetic tone. Backed by a dusty, ‘90s indebted hip-hop beat, the duo skillfully balance raw immediacy blurring the line between underground experimentalism and escapist pop. They say that the track is a “raw social criticism and a young emotional response to the current political situation”.
Out on the 19th September via 40 Miles, The EP All Rights Reserved is an alluring, agitated mixtape that’s as party-starting as it is political, epitomising the duo’s modern punk ethos and their desire to rip up the rulebook and stick it all back together with glitter glue.
Today’s release follows previous singles ‘Bad Lyfe’ - an unhinged and high-octane mission statement which was inspired by a trip to see Nathalia’s family in Chile. A non-stop blast of reggaeton from the club across the road galvanised the industrial beat, and the single arrived alongside an eye-catching video from Brokenint, previewing the band’s Y2K flair (and tongue-in-cheek humour); watch here. Follow-up single “No Te Metas” hybridised the salsa music Nathalia grew up on, with the grooves of Deee-Lite and the cheeky verve of Rosalía, creating an ultra-contemporary anthem. Watch the brilliant video directed by the band and Mathias Söderberg here.
Lover’s Skit formed when a mutual friend introduced them with the simple suggestion: “You play guitar, she sings – you should make something!” A few hangs later, and Lover’s Skit was born. Having turned heads at BBC Radio 6 Music, DIY, METAL, The Line of Best Fit, Notion and Wonderland, they’ve since laid waste to stages like The George Tavern, The Old Blue Last, The Great Escape and more. They’re here to start fires - and parties - in equal measure, and they’re just getting started.
