(4/4/21) Monty’s Catch of the Day – Poté

Poté

Today’s catch comes from a newcomer to Chillville, and goes by the name Sylvern Mathurin…better known as Poté. He’s an English artist from Saint Lucia, and has made his name well known in the club and electronic genres. On June 4, 2021, he will be releasing new album A Tenuous Tale of Her, which contains today’s catch called “Young Lies” featuring Damon Albarn. This is the debut album release for Bonobo’s OUTLIER imprint. It’s also not the 1st time Poté and Albarn have joined forces since he did the remix for the Gorillaz track “Tranz”. This is a very unique electronic sound that has many influences written all over it, and is absolutely fantastic! From his press release…

Poté’s music has always balanced contrasting impulses. On the one hand, there’s the rhythmic, celebratory music of his Caribbean upbringing, and on the other, there’s his interest in exploratory, emotive songwriting. On this record, he takes that approach in a bolder direction: immersive and atmospheric, it’s a platform for those two sides of his music to strike a fresh dialogue.

I can’t get enough of this song, and can’t wait for the album release. You can check out the video for today’s catch “Young Lies (ft. Damon Albarn)” from Poté in the YouTube player below. Good things!
