Easy Lover is a Brooklyn-based duo comprised of multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Wimmer and singer Kali Holloway. New song, “The Sweet” begins a gentle pulse and darkly glittered atmosphere carried along by Holloway’s lush melodic vocal, which unexpectedly strolls into pop song territory (of worthy replay value) with a triumphant brass lead refrain. The track is premiered here from the band’s forthcoming self-released and sophomore EP, The Night We Breathe.

As singer Kali Holloway eloquently puts it:

“There’s something about a pop melody, the way a classic pop melody can prop up a whole song. Even when it’s covered in dust and haze and warped by the lolling sounds around it — and we like all those things, too, very much — you can still hear it underneath in our songs, I think. It’s just such a nice sound to wrap yourself in.”
