The Knocks – Classic (feat. Powers)

The Knocks just released this instant summer classic today. The boys B-Roc and JPatt have proven time and again that they have some serious chops when it comes to capturing a feeling, but this nu-disco-inspired track is something different. Soaked in sun, shining with glossy guitars, and driven forward by a smart, fresh bassline, I’d even venture to say that this is their best yet.

Listen for the seagulls in the background around 1:30, and the flanged guitars during the verses. Powers’ lush vocal sits at the heart of it all, and that hook line grabs fast. The Knocks also posted a letter with their thoughts about the release, included below. They definitely hit the nail on the head this time, and it’s always comforting when artists share their music for the right reasons.
