Toronto duo Prince Innocence (Talvi Faustmann + Josh McIntyre) have just unveiled their first track of the year. Produced by Joel Ford, “Forever & Ever” represents a left turn in its switch to big beat, a heavy electronic genre that was popular in the 90s thanks to acts like The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim. However, they still manage to add a sprinkle of their signature sound with a surprising laidback finale and with Faustmann‘s dreamy vocals, which are at times reminiscent of “I Feel Love.” Listen and dance below.

1. 070 Shake – “Guilty Conscience”

Toronto duo Prince Innocence (Talvi Faustmann + Josh McIntyre) have shared their second single of 2020. Recorded and co-written with Joel Ford, “Angelyne” is a dreamy, classic house-inflected tribute to 80s American enigmatic pin up Angelyne.

“I’ve been obsessed with Angelyne for a while now,” Faustmann explained to Exclaim!. “She took her fame and objectification into her own hands with the billboards. She was like a pre-Internet social media star because that’s what we all do now. We produce and sell ourselves, often with nothing to sell. There’s a subversiveness to deciding to make yourself a star without gatekeepers and producers. I think millennials especially connect to that urge.”
