Richard Orofino (also of Sex Week) teams up with Melody English on “Formula 1,” my personal favorite single of the year. It has a sort of baroque intensity—eerie and gripping. It pushes and pulls in equal measure, with production so lush it practically punches you in the stomach. One of my musical highlights this year was seeing him perform it in near-total darkness at the Montez space, shades on. Pure star power, “aura” if you will… I’ve been calling this “Dungeon Music.”
