Galantis – Pillow Fight

“Managing the fans’ expectations is never an easy thing.”

Tim: Our reader James points us in the direction of this, Galantis’s new track which he reckons doesn’t sound particularly Galantissy.

Tim: And he’s partly right, I think – it certainly doesn’t come with the high-pitched vocal that’s often present, but on the other hand the steel drums and other instrumentation that we might associate with Galantis are all there.

Tom: Having “a style” is a blessing and a curse: when the audience gets bored with it, how do you move on? Managing the fans’ expectations is never an easy thing. Here, sadly, Galantis’ unique style seems not to have changed, but have just… fulled.

Tim: It certainly doesn’t stop me liking it just as much as I’ve liked previous output – well, not quite as much as Peanut Butter Jelly or Love On You, obviously, but certainly on a par with the rest.

Tom: That’s true: they do have the One Big Song. This really feels like an album track.

Tim: Perhaps, but for me it’ll do for now.
