Denver, Colorado's electronic music trio Ping Trace actively seek to connect the dots between tech-house, electronica, and emotionally rich pop music.
Following on the well-received "We Are Human" and "How You Feel" singles for Terraform Records, Ping Trace are bound to make a splash with their latest bold effort.
"A Forest" is indeed a cover of the classic track by British alternative favorite The Cure and Ping Trace have deftly translated the song into their sleek sound. "A Forest" lent itself easily to a dark and dubby house music treatment, echoing the melancholy and longing of the original but adapting it for late night dancefloors.
Lynnae Rome's almost chanteuse-like vocals add to a classy rendition filled with an enticing drama, working well on both on club systems and home stereos.
There are also remixes by Fabr.IQ (a more tech-house oriented version adding staccato synths and pulsating Italo-lines into the track) and Ping Trace themselves (a strange an evocative half-time remix drawing some inspiration from the dubstep genre but without any aggression or lack of subtlety).
This surprising and unique effort is not one to miss.
