I heard this song on a Pitchfork Spotify playlist and my mind melted - "Premonitions" is a smooth electro pop dream, a perfectly timed blend of ominous sexy synth, head bobbing bass snaps, the whirs of a vacuum, and moving vocals reminiscent of a sweeter Portishead. The song builds and drops in the perfect places, and at 1:52 unleashes an incredibly satisfying, incessant synth sound like a Siren releasing a tractor beam of light to abduct you into the song momentarily. And there is nothing more wonderful than some strings (2:51) - do it up Vaults. This song takes me away for three minutes, and that's what this is all about, right?
How you'll move: An intoxicating head bob.
When to play it: When you're feeling like a sexual serial killer, or while high, lying on your floor looking to escape.
Side note: Vaults is a British group who released some limited music in 2014 but recently had a track featured on the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. I absolutely love their other tracks and highly recommend "Lifespans" and "Mend This Love."
