# EB Video Premiere: David Douglas “Higher”
This May will see the Dutch master of twilit synth pop [David
Douglas][1]{: target="_blank"} return to Applescal's [Atomnation][2]{:
target="_blank"} label for his forthcoming album *Moon Observations*. A
natural continuation of 2012's *Royal Horticultural Society*, with its
powdery blocks of chords and swathes of treated vocals, first single
"Higher" press gangs smudged funkiness and porous synths into the
service of the slow-building atmosphere. The mood is extended into the
track's accompanying video---today's exclusive EB video premiere.
Self-directed by David himself, it's something of a poem to urban,
street lamp-lit nights squandered in subways and car parks. Check it
above and then [go listen][3]{: target="_blank"} to the whole EP---we're
particular fond of the rework by London producer Throwing Snow, too.
David Douglas' Higher EP is out now on Atomnation.
