The Daily Dose: Kwamie Liv 
New music every day. "It's good for you!"

Dark and minimalistic electronic music seems to be all the rage lately. With Banks (like her or not) as the reigning queen, others can seem redundant or derivative. Copenhagen-based Kwamie Liv's "Follow You" is neither, though its shuffle of hand-claps and bare synths is certainly reminiscent of a host of other artists. Still, it mingles paranoia and relaxation in a way that is both beautiful and almost upsetting––and decidedly original. Amid whispered lyrics and dissonant synths, the titular refrain "Run toward the light you seek / Let it follow you" becomes simultaneously an encouragement, a promise, a warning, a haunting. Stream the track below.
