premiere: Kaela Sinclair (of M83) – Golden

Denton, TX's own Kaela Sinclair (although she's based in LA now, Texas still claims her) has had quite the whirlwind of a year, starting in early 2016 with an amazing viral SOHN cover and culminating in the thrilling and ultimately life-changing experience of being chosen by M83's Anthony Gonzalez as the group's new singer/keyboardist/secret weapon. The M83 thing, with its massive world tours and international fame, forced Kaela to put her solo project on hold for just a minute, but today, we're psyched to debut the first single from her forthcoming album, which she recorded with Midlake's McKenzie Smith. Watch the video for the shimmering, beautifully heartfelt dream-pop gem "Golden", directed by Ryan Robins of Dallas' Cold Fox Films. "Golden" is officially out next week on UK label Def Disco.
