Space! The final frontier. At least it would be if London-based multi-instrumentalist and all-round filmmaking pro Dreller hadn’t already got there. His latest track ‘Control’ is everything you want from a bleep-laden slice of electropop with hazy beats; like Metronomy at their most psychedelic and danceable, Dreller has made a song that makes high-pitched synth bursts sound thoroughly appealing.
Naturally, to go with the song he’s also created a four-minute animated masterpiece that sees him travelling the universe on the world’s most threadbare-looking spaceship. With little references to the likes of 2001: A Space Odyssey and a mish mash of crazy symbols (that looks a little like the weird language from Futurama), it’s a fun DIY romp through the furthest reaches of space. We’re also convinced that Dreller might be an alien. It would explain why he can seemingly do everything…
