Maxwell Byrne, the Australian musician and producer who used to make electro-pop as Golden Vessel, has now announced his third full-length album of dance music under the name 1tbsp. Along with "Wish You Luck," his recent effervescent single featuring kid on air, the forthcoming big soaps will include multiple collaborations with Colombian-American artist Soltera, Venezuelan-Australian artist Cherry Chola, and French-Korean artist Miki. Today, he's sharing one of the latter, "Carottes." As Byrne explains:
miki and i only had two hours, we had a small overlap when i arrived in paris before she left for a tour, but in that short time we wrote three songs (two of which are on big soaps). we really clicked instantly, miki has great taste. she makes all these little snippets of found audio that she collects and edits on ableton. she very generously gave me some, and carottes started with me cutting up her soundbyte to make the main synth chords. at the time i was listening to a lot of greek music and i had came across this 2007 album, remastered 1 by stereo nova, that was a big inspiration for this song.
