Pretty Lights // We Must Go On (Video)

For fans of Pretty Lights when you hear on the wire that mew material is afoot it’s like a birthday present for your ears, and they just can’t wait to unwrap the shiny new sounds inside. And with every new Pretty Lights track you’re a bit stupefied at the continuous breadth of Derek’s creativity and originality. Bro takes it higher every time. So it is with “We Must Go On” and its electric space-time continuum vibe, and sassy bass. A bass so primal and naked it’s akin to the reverberations of an exploding distant star light-years away: the lament of the end, but the joy of a beautiful beginning too. Like all of his work, it is an amalgamation of many presences both varied and new. As if all the corners of the world came together into a fluidity of plangent sound. In this case, a sound so enchanting it enthralls your soul, and you find yourself communing peacefully and dreamily with every sunrise and sunset, past, present and future. Peace.

And damn, the Erykah Badu sample kills it! Enjoy.
