Bitbird's duo DROELOE depicts dichotomy on "Sunburn"

 

Boasting industry leaders such as San Holo, the Dutch label bitbird leaves nothing to be desired when it comes to future bass, demonstrating nothing short of professionalism in delivering consistent and high-quality material. Dutch electronic duo DROELOE, composed of Hein Hamers and Vincent Rooijers, shows no exception to the bitbird standard, releasing their latest single "Sunburn" in preparation for their upcoming EP set to drop next week. While it can be difficult to discern the meaning from electronic music, DROELOE has conveniently left us a description to grasp a sense of where they are as artists and individuals:

"Sunburn is about how turbulent love and success can feel, every passionate positive experience or feeling can make way for its negative counterpart at some point. For us, this track embodies the roller coaster between those two." 

Many prefer not to credit electronic music for simple lyrics of lack of, but a more technical analysis of the song's sound design and arrangement can provide abstract insight: slightly bit-crushed supersaws give their drops a metallic texture and crunch to balance the softer textures holding the body of the synths. The underlying effect still drives an overall uplifting tone to symbolize the beauty of the dichotomy in life they discuss above.
