A young producer currently calling Ann Arbor, MI home, Jeremy Malvin makes tender, beat-centric pop tunes under the name Chrome Sparks. Some tracks on his recently self-released My <3 EP bring to mind summery sounds heard from the likes of contemporaries Toro Y Moi, Hard Mix, Star Slinger, or Blackbird Blackbird, while others seem to dive a bit deeper into the emotional pool, touching on more somber themes. “<3 & Soul” is one such cut, and juxtaposes flitting xylophone melodies with downtrodden vocal hooks, broken drum patterns, and smooth synth chords for a subtly moving effect. What makes the tune even better is that it’s followed by a flipped version, called “Soul & <3,” which immediately earns Malvin brownie points for making such a classy move. You can stream and download all of Chrome Sparks’ My <3 EP on Bandcamp, here.
