Pumping from the below-ground speakers of a cosmic swimming pool party, Melbourne electronic producer Tim Shiel’s new single ‘Silver Line’ is an absolute treat. Beginning with soft, burbling percussion, everything surrounding it shining and starburst, this smooth, gliding beginning gracefully gives way to a more pulsating, throbbing midsection before bringing you back to the surface. A swirling, gauzy vibe is never entirely shaken as added synth lines and samples press into the mix, leaving a supernatural aura crowning the whole thing.
Shiel is clearly an ambitious guy, and ‘Silver Line’ is predictably worked over with a fistful of “producerly” accoutrements. There’s a swag of tricks in here – cop that aborted guitar riff, drifting off into space along with those synth kisses midway through, or the chipmunk-girl to grown-woman vocals – but none of is just for the sake of it, or ever comes off as an overindulgence. Instead, Shiel has a knack for folding sounds into an overarching mood or structure, so that the sum is always more intuitive and seamless than its proliferating parts. For this single in particular, the result is lush, dreamy future pop that just begs you to dive in headfirst, your heart in close second. Just be careful how many times you dip in – you might find yourself blissfully lost in here.
