"The Sweet Hereafter"

Collaboratively-minded Ontario pop outfit First Rate People will release their album Everest via Bedroomer in less than two weeks, on November 5, and they've offered up a taste of what's in store by sharing the song "The Sweet Hereafter."

The track is a smooth, electronic-oriented R&B duet. It features a minimal arrangement of synths and beats, fleshed out by splashes of acoustic guitar and lots of chopped up, pitch-warped vocals. The song rises in intensity as it goes along, turning into a blippy dance jam partway through.
