NYC-based artist-producer, aldrch has released his new track, “COMEDOWN,” with rising alt-pop star Stevie Bill. The new track marks his last offering before unveiling his ambitious debut record, industry standard, out September 22nd via Epitaph Records.
Between aldrch’s electric production and Stevie Bill’s magnetic vocals, “COMEDOWN” conjures the insatiable energy that defines the youthful downtown NYC music scene. It offers a high of its own for the listener to come down from, building with a catchy bassline, a driving drumbeat, and a dose of intoxicated confidence. “I made it in the middle of a 3 week [Lower East Side] club binge,” aldrch recalls, “and basically just wrote a song about what I saw around me.”
“Stevie and I have been talking about making a song together for a long time. I knew from the jump that this was the one for her,” he adds on “COMEDOWN” coming together. This creative instinct and synergy are evident on the track — “Working with Stevie was so fun, she’s an insanely talented songwriter and made the process super easy.”
The new single is representative of the dichotomy present throughout the upcoming record; it’s messy and voracious in theory, but slick and intentional in quality. “It’s honestly pretty scary,” he bares on sharing his new body of work. “Making a huge genre pivot feels really vulnerable and exposing. That being said, this album feels like the kind of music I’ve been itching to make my whole career, and I can’t wait for NYC to see it live.”
