Alternative duo Upstairs Open's new track, MOTH

MOTH

"You Got Love" is Upstairs Open's debut. The genre-defying mix of natural and electronic tones is threaded through with male/female vocal strands that twirl in symbiosis – it's not a duet, far from it. Courtney explains explaining that a mutual love of contrasts has given rise to their own signature sound, and both she and Daniel describe this introduction as a “balance” that draws each corner of Upstairs Open together – it's a vital piece of their puzzle, and the first taste of a debut EP that's being readied for release in the near future.

'Chicago' was the first song Upstairs Open wrote together after meeting up in Daniel's South London flat for weekly sessions, revelling in the organic, restraint-free nature of working sans external pressures. Born from a mutual love of contrasts, ‘Chicago' encapsulates their own signature sound, which Indie Shuffle describes as having, 'an ethereal quality… with the melding of organic and electronic instruments contrasting the duo's gorgeous harmonies.’ ‘Chicago' is haunting and moody, and centres on loss and longing, where “although two people are together, they can see what they have very differently, and it’s about coming to terms with that”. As one of the busiest airports in the world, and an international gateway to much of the American mid-west, the track takes inspiration from the ideas of crossing lands, and the struggles that arise from physical and emotional distance.
