BICEP is back again under their DOVE alias with “CHROMA 009 KR36,” serving up a concoction of house-inspired minimalism, distinctive rolling percussion and Kehina’s hazy, half-ghosted top add the finishing touch. The DOVE alias itself serves as a dedicated space for BICEP to explore more abstract, studio-first ideas – distinct from the melodic structure and polish typically found in their mainline release, themselves describing it as “an extreme version of the BICEP sound – heavier, but also calmer.”
Just before “CHROMA 009 KR36,” the DOVE alias grabbed the spotlight around “Bi83,” which has since passed 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone and gone on to general positive reception. Bigger picture – the brand oozes coolness without trying, with accolades, performances and personality all reinforcing this key factor. From performances at Coachella, Glastonbury, Portola, Brooklyn Mirage to sold out multiple runs at London’s Drumsheds, BICEP are having one of the best runs of their lives.
“CHROMA 009 KR36” continues to breathe life into the insatiable BICEP ecosystem. Stream the track below and enjoy!
