In what promises to be an incredibly strong series of Adult Swim singles this year, today’s edition is a special one.

Linking Ryan Hemsworth up with folk singer Keaton Henson and indie rocker Mitski, the network has facilitated a stunning collaboration that edges each artist slightly out of their respective comfort zones. Hemsworth dials things back a bit to provide a gorgeous electronic backdrop for two vocalists that we’re used to hearing over more organic sounds. The result is a seamless collab that tugs interesting new dimensions out of each performer (and will slide in nicely on any low-key evening playlist).

“I’ve been working on little ideas with Keaton for a while,” Hemsworth told PAPER Magazine. “But once I had the chance to get Mitski involved as well it made complete sense to me. They’re easily two of my favorite singers so it was really inspiring to work on this one together.”

Listen to the song below and make sure to keep tabs on Adult Swim’s SoundCloud page, which will feature tracks from Vince Staples, Run the Jewels, Earl Sweatshirt, Flying Lotus, and more in the coming weeks.
