Pitchfork rank SBTRKT & Little Dragon’s collaboration as the 89th best song of 2011

If you wake up one day to find that your genre of choice has been suddenly co-opted by bandwagoneering rock-bros, there are a couple of good ways to shrug it off: Network with people who share your ability to imbue music with shapeshifting versatility, take it to somewhere it hasn’t been, and slap the prefix post- onto it. SBTRKT does just that, and “Wildfire”, the first single from his self-titled debut, is a savvy lure. Little Dragon’s Yukimi Nagano drops a vocal in full diva mode, wrapping her sultry voice around words that sound romantic until you catch the underlying threats. And what she’s given to work with is a track that winds its way through a couple different satellites of landmark R&B, a slinky slow-jam 80s drum machine holding the door open for fat synths that draw a path of lineage from dubstep all the way back to “Pony”.
