It's possible that Mikky Ekko will release an album's-worth of new music through his Soundcloud account before we hear any new information about his forthcoming album-- which is fine, in a slow burn sort of way.

This latest release puts Clams Casino behind the production wheel alongside Ekko and the outcome feels like a natural, obvious pairing.

Mikky Ekko has been taking the slow burn approach when it comes to releasing new music to the masses. Back in July, he premiered "We Must Be Killers" via his Soundcloud account, and now he's taken to YouTube to debut his latest track, "Feels Like the End." The ethereal video suits the celestial vibe of the song and was created by German artist, Robert Seidel. You can download "Feels Like the End" here.

Press play and enjoy your out-of-body experience.

Genre-chameleon Mikky Ekko has taken to Soundcloud to premiere his newest track, "We Must Be Killers." After spending some time off the grid, Ekko released his most-recent track to his fans online, just hours before debuting it for the rest of the world on MTV's Teen Wolf.

Ekko has announced that he is currently doing some recording, but there is still no word on the possibility or progress of a new album. In the meantime, you can hear his casually haunting track, "We Must Be Killers" here:
