private agenda: paralysed

Private Agenda follow their acclaimed 2015 debut single, Déjà Vu, with Paralysed, a record filled with confidence and direction. "Paralysed" pays homage to piano-led Italo house by way of French boogie grooves; amid the bright, staccato piano stabs and tongue-in-cheek vocal lines, you'll hear funk guitar sifting between delicately layered Afro-Cuban percussion. Tuff City Kids hop on with a remix of "Paralysed" that propels it further into cosmic, trippy, and hedonistic dimensions. "Little Bird" slips into a different gear; if you like your balearic beat breezy and carefree, then there's plenty to love here (plus a euphoric sax moment to boot).
