“EMEFE’s Miles Arntzen has been a busy man, balancing his eight member strong NYC collective, his work in Antibalas, and as the touring drummer for Arcade Fire’s Will Butler — we had a chance to catch up with Miles in between projects, and debut the following EMEFE song, “Come Back to Me”. Taken from their upcoming self-released self-titled available May 5; the group busts out their biggest, and boldest pop arrangements to bolster up the felicity for a song about a plea for re-requited romance.
Arntzen describes in the following interview that “Come Back to Me” was inspired by a case of flying anxiety, met by his self-profession passions for the, “Prince-esque groove with the ease of Fela Kuti’s Africa 70 band.” The entire song operates with all cylinders firing, where every section is thought out in the most ambitious pop terms, and nothing is looked over. Keeping the narrative fun, spiked with turbulent jitters; Miles and company keep the entire affair levitating on a bouncy, cloud of air: “Floating up, floating back to and fro…” We talked with Miles Arntzen to find out how he juggles so many projects in our interview featured after the following debut of, “Come Back to Me”.”
