Playing a soulful approach to downtempo electronic pop, “Autophagy” is a consuming track from Minnesota-based artist CAIRNS. The lush bass line and stutter-y synth energy contrast enjoyably, the vocals seamlessly shifting between pop-forward charisma and intimate yearning. In the latter’s case, an elegant ballad-forward section flows with an emotive pull, leading into the electro-laden bounce rounding the two-minute mark. “Autophagy” boasts immediate appeal with its sensual, atmospheric pop presentation.
