May 11, 2018 was the release date of the newly anticipated single Click.
Click is a collaboration between electronic musician DarwinMcD (pronounced: “darwin-mick-dee”) and Austin synthpop artist Eric C. Powell. It’s bright and uplifting synthpop goodness reminiscent of Erasure, yet boasts a fresh modern edge.
What’s more, the new single has telling backstory. Southern California-based DarwinMcD (pronounced: “darwin-mick-dee”) sent his demo out to Eric and a few others for feedback. Eric wrote lyrics and recorded vocals on a Saturday, mixed and mastered on a Sunday, and the track was finalized on a Tuesday. Click is a testament to how the music industry today benefits indie artists and how modern technology can allow two artists, living over a thousand miles apart, to produce a finished track in under a week.
The cullmination of DarwinMcD’s perfectly captured synthpop feel, mixed with Eric’s catchy lyrics and vocal melody has created an immediate buzz across synth-focused radio stations in the UK and Europe.
The final single boasts three versions starting with the final mix with Eric’s vocal and other contributions. Also included are an collaborative instrumental titled the “No Vox Mix” and the original DarwinMcD solo demo “Demo Mix.” The single is available on all major digital platforms or links can be found at this smart link listing.
