Having formed in Germany back in 2006, and the heritage in the duo’s inception is worn very much on their sleeves. Taint My Mind thrums with a restless and cold ambient electronica sound, both unmistakably German, and the natural result of a partnership formed at the tail-end of the Electroclash and post punk era of the noughts.
Heavy analogue synths and clipped drum machines provide the foundations for Taint My Mind’s haunting vocal. The result is moody, cinematic and sinister - the downward pitch-shift effect applied to the vocal as it repeats the song’s title and particularly blissful moment.
Describing the song, Deniz Çiçek said:
“This song was inspired by the love of my life. It’s also the song that made me realize that I am not only a songwriter and singer but also a producer. Accompanied by the visualizer of Alice Bloomfield you get the perfect Virgo sun Aries moon energy y’all have been waiting for.”
Taint My Mind is the latest, and final, single to arrive ahead of Kraków Loves Adana’s forthcoming album, Follow The Voice. Check out the song’s visualiser below, and look out for the album when it is released on 12 November.
