m els, Lovless Youth 'Too Long' on Green Room

'Too Long' is the new single from m els, teaming up with Lovless Youth on Green Room Records. Released October 10, the record has already picked up attention from major industry names, with Like Mike charting it 10th in his "In My Ear" Chart on October 17.

The track itself works on the tension between low-slung, hypnotic drums and a drifting, harmonically rich atmosphere. The percussion stays low in the mix, open and unhurried, leaving space for airy textures to move across the surface and a hook that emerges only briefly from the depth. The overall feel is one of restraint, nothing feels forced, with a top end that hints at melodic movement rather than dominating the arrangement. It's a subtle, heady sound, suited for late rooms and longer sets.

This one extends a solid run of output from m els, whose prior work has found a home on Radikal Records, and signals the continuing momentum behind the Green Room camp, which has been kept busy by the likes of Like Mike, 44coles and others.
