C’mon Tigre and TYTO have joined forces on ‘Ceiling Drip Gospel’, released today, June 19. The track also features Caterina Yuka Sforza of Nicaragua and Dumbo Gets Mad.

The song is the fourth preview of C’mon Tigre’s still-untitled album, due later this year, following ‘K//A\K//A’, ‘Driver Idle’ and ‘Vanta’. It will also appear on TYTO’s forthcoming album, released through RDR and peermusic Italy.

‘Ceiling Drip Gospel’ began with a poem TYTO wrote shortly after David Bowie’s death. Its subject is a home slowly coming apart: leaking walls, stuck doors and the odd feeling of trying to keep yourself together while the place around you does the opposite.

There is something suitably lived-in about the collaboration. TYTO is the solo project of Italian multi-instrumentalist Beppe Scardino, who has played saxophone, flute and synthesizer with C’mon Tigre for many years. Although the connection goes back a long way, this is the first track on which the two projects have met fully on record.

Musically, it moves on a clipped guitar figure and an unhurried electronic beat, with flutes and synthesizers gradually filling the space. Sforza takes over for the closing Japanese section, bringing in the image of Doraemon’s ‘Anywhere Door’ as a means of escaping the rain and rising water. The track then slips into a restrained reggaeton passage before drifting to its close.

‘Ceiling Drip Gospel’ was written by TYTO, C’mon Tigre and Caterina Yuka Sforza. It was mixed and mastered by Antonio Castiello at JambonaLab in Livorno, with cover artwork by Giulia Conoscenti.
