Last week 19-year-old North Londoner Daniel Briskin made his EMI/PMR debut with the new single "Boy on the Lake," a sparse, jarring, and modestly beautiful miniature pop symphony. The North London-based producer and songwriter recorded the song with Jamie Reynolds, a founding member of the Mercury Prize-winning band Klaxons.

“Boy on the Lake” is from Briskin’s forthcoming mixtape, Forever Was A Feeling, also recorded with Jamie Reynolds. The work captures the claustrophobia and euphoria of late adolescence, mixing nostalgia with an overwhelming relief that the whole thing’s nearly over – all seen through the eyes of a realist who can’t help being a bit of a dreamer. The result is dark pop, with a glimmer of light never too far away.
