Swathed in three minutes of provocative synth grooves and pulsing bass, The Lovers Of Valdaro return to take you on a journey Faster To Nowhere. From the dramatic shuddering electronic effects of the opening notes through to that beguiling introductory verse, the song teases and seduces you before spinning you across the dance floor in a cascade of shimmering keyboard riffs and hip-swaying grooves. Erik Gabriel & Adam Warhester are skilled masters of their craft, creating compelling narratives with poetic lyrics that are delivered with such passionate majesty each successive single sends shivers of glee down your spine. On Faster To Nowhere they tell a story about the allure and appeal of throwing caution to the wind; embracing the possibilities that love and live present to you. The tangible thrill of anticipation in the singing is joyously matched by the sense of liberation in the sumptuous accompanying instrumental; each note and vocal cadence woven together inextricably for the listener to luxuriate in. For example, the exhilarating chimes of around 1m30s convey the vibe of adventure, leading you to the intimacy of the line "take down all these walls". It is delivered with such earnestness and gentle caress that you can't help but feel in safe hands as you slide back into that satisfying titular refrain. Faster To Nowhere ultimately takes you on a sensational pop ride to somewhere - and that somewhere is euphoric melancholic electronic bliss. It's on cloud nine. Take a left at seventh heaven...
