Copenhagen-based experimental-pop artist ML Buch is offering a glimpse into her musical past with the release of a fresh, untitled track – a project she began a full decade ago. The song, now available on her YouTube channel, arrives following recent vocal contributions to projects by Oliver Coates and Smerz, solidifying her presence in the alternative electronic music scene. This release marks a personal turn for Buch, who described the decision to finish the track as simply “felt like finishing this track from 2016.”
Buch’s recent collaborations highlight her versatility as a vocalist and producer. In December, she lent her voice to Oliver Coates’ soundtrack for the film Pillion, contributing to the tracks “Driveaway,” “Bikesteal,” and “Subdued.” Prior to that, in November, she was featured on Smerz’s remix album, Big city life EDITS, a project that brought together a diverse group of artists including Clairo and Astrid Sonne. The album reimagines Smerz’s original tracks in their signature alternative-electronic style, as noted in an article from Exclaim!.
The release of this new track comes on the heels of recognition from fellow artist Oklou, who recently mentioned Buch’s earlier work, Suntub, during an interview at the McQueen Paris Fashion Week present. This acknowledgment underscores the growing appreciation for Buch’s unique sound and artistic vision within the music industry.
Here’s the new track:
