Dreams really do come true. Or at least for David Harks of Safetalk, who dreamt up his new solo single ‘Avalon’.
The UK singer is highly reflective in ‘Avalon’, in more ways than one. It’s soft, psychedelic synth-pop that you can imagine dancing to at 2am whilst in your own euphoric state.
‘Avalon’ was recorded with Pete Cattermoul from Teleman and is released on a new French label, Splinter.
