EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras: Soon

Don’t look at Catholic as the next great reissue: The music made by synth-disco magus Patrick Cowley with vocalist Jorge Socarras between 1976 and ’79 has never seen the light of day. Cowley was one of dance music’s most important artists; heard today, his iconic remix of “I Feel Love” in 1982 seems to set the stage for so much of what was to come that decade. He didn’t get to see any of it: Cowley passed away late in ’82, one of the AIDS epidemic’s early victims. On Catholic (coming next month from Berlin’s Macro label) he’s at his style-spanning best, slipping between minimal electro, elegantly dark synth-pop and proto-coldwave gems like the symmetric first single, “Soon,” breathed into robotic life by Socarras’s dryly emotional speak-singing (and available now with remixes by Morgan Geist and KiNK).
