Amethysts Offer Atmospheric Remix Of Loome’s ‘Talking To Strangers’: East Anglian duo Amethysts offer their ambient-electronic take on Loome’s recent single ‘Talking To Strangers’ with a new remix (due March 22nd).
Featuring guest vocals from Oktae, the original single is given a fresh atmospheric touch by Amethysts, layering warming synthesizers, sampling, and subtle guitar lines with layers of processed vocal harmonies and spacious reverbs. Bringing an emotive, haunting tone, the new remix serves to contrast the original’s upbeat nature and pull out the track’s melancholic undertones whilst retaining the infectious natures of the lead vocals.
