"Drinkee" was Sofi Tukker's debut single, which Ultra Records reissued in April 2016, and part of the American duo's Soft Animals EP, and it takes its inspiration from "Relógio", a poem by the Brazilian poet Chacal, sung in its original Portuguese. Vocalist Sophie Hawley-Weld has waved off the language barrier entirely: the point, she says, was never meaning but nonsense.
She wrote it with Tucker Halpern and R. de C. Duarte, the duo produced it themselves and Joe Lambert mixed. Her voice melts into a layered bed of distorted electric guitar, a hefty bass line, bongos and cowbells, and the track earned a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording.
