Hayden James – Permission To Love

Future Classic has been quite active in the last six months with solid releases from Flume, Classixx*, Panama, and Jagwar Ma. Now enters another Aussie to the mix, Hayden James, whose Permission To Love EP drops today featuring the title song, “Permission To Love,” and two remixes. In light of Random Access Memories just coming out, the funky guitar work and dance grooves apparent on the track seem easily comparable to Daft Punk’s latest work. But regardless of this probably unfair comparison, James’ effortlessly smooth debut has me hooked and is certainly worth a listen.
