Meteorite (feat. Gus Dapperton)

Melting Away is Ultraflex's magnum opus. The final single from their sophomore album 'Infinite Wellness' is a patchwork quilt of references – in the intro Katrín whispers a sentence by the danish poet Tove Ditlevsen, made famous in Norway by singer Kari Bremnes. The first verse is heavily inspired by the short story 'The Husband Stitch' by author Carmen Maria Machado, and the chord progression is borrowed from Usher’s ‘Climax’. Guitarist Bjarni Daníel Þorvaldsson plays a delicious Spanish guitar solo in the song in the style of Enrique Iglesias, and in the end the track ended up as a seamless mashup between Spice Girls's masterpiece '2 Become 1' and Madonna's 'Live To Tell'.

Out of all the songs on the album, Melting Away had the most difficult birth. The song’s working title was 'Power Ballad' and every trick in the book was used to fulfill that name. Ultraflex had such high ambitions for it, it created an almost insurmountable obsession with perfection. About six different versions of the chorus were composed and as a result the structure is quite unconventional.

Erlend is one of my favorite troubadour, his timeless melodies and subtle poetry are an all-weather vaccine for me, either through his solo works, his brilliant "Kings Of Convenience" duo, or his funkier "Whitest Boy Alive" formation. 
Here's a slo-mo DJ-friendly rework of his sunny ballad released last year with the talented Italian band La Comitiva, where you can almost feel the luminosity of his beloved Sicily.
Thanks to him for letting me share this one.
