New Music: The Legends – First Prize

Published On: December 13th, 2019|

Short but oh so sweet, First Prize is the new single from The Legends aka Johan Angergård, who is also known for his work with Acid House Kings, Djustin and Pallers. Here he teams up with the other half of Club 8, but as he says, it’s not a Club 8 song.

The very breathy, sensuous and occasionally pitch-shifted vocal presences are the cream on this particular slice of cherry pie. Naughty but nice, the song sounds like the product of two people enjoying what they’re doing. To complement that, the sheer joy of the vocals provides a delicious counterpoint to the lo-fi, retro arrangement that veers into Krautrock at times. First Prize is part Gainsbourg, part nursery rhyme, deceptively simple in delivering so many lyrical concepts in such a short time.

First Prize is out now and available to stream or download on all major platforms including Spotify. Be sure to check The Legends out over on Facebook and give them a follow to keep up with news about the song, upcoming releases and more.
