Listen: Van Gogh — Pr0files

September 10, 2022 in stream

Other than a brief, sadly one-off, cover of Tears For Fears’ Everybody Wants To Rule The World, LA pair Pr0files haven’t graced BlackPlastic.co.uk since their debut album, Jurassic Technologie, was released in 2016. Indeed, it has been some time since the pair last really worked together:

“After a long break from collaborating (almost five years), we finally decided to exchange song ideas that we had been working on. We were inspired by how much our lives had changed since we last made music together, and these lyrics and emotion reflect that feeling; looking back at a past life.”

The result is Van Gogh, a song that very much picks up where Pr0files left off, despite the extended interlude. Emotive lyrics belted out atop cinematic synths, the chorus’ layered effects creating a feeling of infectious determinism. It is, nonetheless, a restrained returned… Less overtly pop than their power-ballad-meets-Drive song Forgive, which made my top 20 favourite songs of the year on release back in 2014. The overall sound is more sophisticated as a result, and I’m excited to hear where Pr0files go from here.
