cln - Better Than

Pilerats
Originally Appeared In

The kids keep getting younger, and the beats keep getting better.. Better Than is 18-year-old Brissy producer cln's new single, and it's the first taste of his forthcoming EP, Sideways. I've been following his progress for a while, including remixes of tracks like Disclosures' White Noise, and Kilter's They Say, which were cool without blowing the proverbial roof off. So it gives me great pleasure today to share with you Better Than, because it stands head and shoulders above those remixes - which is all you want when it comes to originals. I guess you'd slide it under the 'chilltrap' genre, if that's a thing, and the warped vocal samples combine nicely with a tough drum-snare combo that keeps it from being super-down-tempo. I can't wait for the EP, out June 11, and until then I suggest you download Better Than for free, give cln a follow on FACEBOOK // SOUNDCLOUD, and keep your ears peeled for more releases as they come.
