FCL - Can We Try

  • Share
  • The opening of what the press release touts as FCL's follow-up to "It's You"—that sparse track that went from limited edition vinyl to adverts for a supermarket's budget bikinis—sounds unerringly familiar. Recorded in the same session, "Can We Try" starts with a similarly sultry vocal from Lady Linn with just a clap for company, and in the inevitable comparison it comes up short. So it's a relief that Red D and San Soda decide not to totally tread old ground, instead moving into a terrace-ready anthem that's rattling with piano stabs and subs that hum like a poorly grounded mixer. Deetron's mix seems equally aware of the "It's You" spectre, offering double the intro before presenting a fuller version of the original, with the structure maintained but all the gaps stuffed with chuntering hi-hats and the lead riff transplanted from tinkled piano to a neon-tinged synth. The strength of Linn's vocal should render the dub redundant, although it serves to show just how lacking the remix feels without it.
