New Audio: Red For Stop Shares Yearning and Trippy “God In You”

Red for Stop is a mysterious French indie outfit that has won the KR Home Studios Discoveries contest three years in a four year period. The French outfit’s latest single “God In You” is a hook driven bit of trip hop featuring glistening synth arpeggios. and skittering beats paired with cinematic strings paired with yearning, sultrily cooed vocals, before ending with a jazz-inspired coda featuring twinkling keys and a breezy yet plaintive horn solo.

Sonically, “God In You” recalls a slick synthesis of Goldfrapp, Portishead, and Sgt. Pepper-era Beatles and balearic house.

Red for Stop is a mysterious French indie outfit that has won the KR Home Studio Discoveries contest three of the past four years. The act’s latest single, the woozy “You Are Alone” is a slick synthesis of 120 Minutes era MTV alt rock and trip hop centered around twinkling keys, stuttering beats, shimmering feedback-drenched guitars, soaring strings and an anthemic hook are paired with coquettish vocals. The end result is a song that brings Sneaker Pimps and Slowdive to mind — but with a subtle yet visceral sense of menace.
