Small Black - No Stranger
7.7/10

Small Black is an indie electronic band from New York City, USA. This track is taken from their album Limits of Desire released by Jagjaguwar in May 2013. Josh Kolenick's shy voice carries this track as he sings of a need for commitment and acceptance. Shimmering waves of synths, heavy reverb effects and jumpy beats speed the track along, with a huge wash of lush sound following the chorus line of "You're no stranger to me." While Small Black's updated chillwave style can grow rather predictable over the length of the full album Limits of Desire, taken on its own a track like No Stranger provides simple pleasures and a warm, blissed out sensation, which sometimes is all we really need.
