Jorkes – Thank You

Production duo Jorkes follow up their recent debut & innaugural EP for Freeride Millenium with another standout single on the fledgling imprint.

Munich based pair Jorkes are something of an enigma, having appeared on the scene recently with a fully formed sound and a desire to let their music do the speaking for them. Musically the duo seem to be operating with few boundaries, looking to express their emotional states through their music with scant consideration for styles or genres. This latest release sees Jorkes team up with fellow Munich resident and vocalist Karol Schmejchel to deliver a slice of evocative, slo-mo nu-disco.

The release kicks of with the original mix of ‘Thank You’, marrying chugging drums and warm bass with stirring pads and the emotionally charged vocals of Schmejchel. It’s a perfect track for dark backrooms and home lounging alike.

The remix comes from Manchester trio Menage a Trois who deliver a sonical beautiful reworking built around heartwrenching keys and heavily reverbed guitar parts. Simple understated drums carrying the record along as their vocal treatment soars towards the heavens.  This really is sublime stuff.

Jorkes are on fine form for their second release on Freeride Millenium.  ‘Thank You’ drops on the 20th of July and the vinyl edition also features a bonus instrumental version of the Menage a Trois remix.
