thanks a. garcia for sending this in my direction.
CANT is chris taylor of grizzly bear's solo project. he's the sexy blonde one.
chris plays the bass, bass sax, flute, harmonizes sweetly and twiddles most of the knobs and peddles on stage with gb.
this track is mostly about mood and build without much in the way of melody or hooks. harmonic oooh's, flanged out beach guitars, steady bass drum beat and tamborine all recorded in some huge hall of echoes and reverb. in other words any fan of the grizz beyond two weeks will totally dig it.
this new track from a chilean techno-minimalist takes a twist toward the roller-rink by way of midnight gym class. you'll have that rolling a capella beat in your head all day.
anoraak is the king of the valerie collective. my love and admiration for this frenchman is obvious to anyone who has followed this blog or the playmix group. he just fucking nails it every time.
a sick van halen guitar attack opens this track and there's no stopping it from there. party.
let's pretend it's still summer. better yet, just sit back and snuggle up in whatever increasingly brisk climate you find yourself and remember how great summer was. listen to these dreamy tracks with a sweet pang of nostalgia and a wash of mellow vibes. feel your sun-kissed skin begin to fade.
i don't know where or when i took this picture. i just discovered it on my memory card and it's blowing my mind. dark, mysterious, full of intrigue. like this track below.
moderat is the colaboration between dance/electro-meisters modeselektor and apparat.
mmmatthias is in my opinion a definite contender for remix artist of the year, and definitely the dj with the best taste in source material.
the thumping intro on this track sounds like a shadowy stranger pounding at your door late on a foggy night... but it's cool, he just wants to take you out and dance dirty.
so i was accused yesterday of exclusively favoring music with synths and/or a drum machine. if that were totally true i would have no problem admitting it. ...ok that's not true. i would have a problem with being a 100% bass-head, just like i would have a problem listening to any genre of music exclusively. in the interest of balance i wish to present my case for a non-synth-based artist.
exhibit a: grizzly bear.
lovvvve grizzly bear. last time i saw them i'm pretty sure i blacked out from concentration and emotion. i'm seeing the grizz and beach house tonight at the palladium and no band with a moog is better at...
oh wait, they do use keyboards.
fuck it. didn't radiohead permanently destroy the walls and restrictions regarding "rock" music back in the 90's? i like my rock n' roll with a korg synth and effects pedals. ...or at least a nice electric keyboard and some reverb.
psychic chasms is the best full length lp i've heard in a long long long time. truly a start-to-finish affair. a most spectacular collection of lo-fi dreamy synth pop gems surrounded by perfect songlettes and interludes.
this is just a taste. go buy the whole album. it will make your month too.
everyone needs to go to check out the museum of jurassic technology on venice and bagley. romantic/victorian/acid trip through the brain of 12 mad scientists.
go with someone like luke g. for the most fun/brain scrambling.
strange sounds, chirps, silver bells, mechanical droans and disembodied voices float around the dark labyrinthine space.
sounds a lot like a description of my favorite deep-dub brits, burial. burial is what the museum would sound like if it had hands and programmed beautiful music instead of having no hands and just tripping people like me the fuck out.
so both these tracks are a little "epic." but sometimes "heavy" and "intense" aren't pejorative. sometimes you need to get deep into a speaker or some headphones and just rave your little heart out. neither track is totally "untz, untz, untz, untz..." either. they're more about the journey and the build than the destination. the beat doesn't even drop until min 4:30 in this new, beautiful mau5 hole. but when it does... 8:)
same goes for this amazing la roux remix i picked up from the boys at gottadancedirty. it's more about the bass and that heavy deep throb you feel instead of hear.
oh julain casablancas we know you're cool and you don't give a fuck and date starlets but that's ok because you give us tracks like this. who needs the strokes.
sweaty, staggering; alternatively heavy and blissed out. all of it reminded me how happy i would be in the wilderness without the bullshit of civilization and how much i crave anything that takes me to that place. ...this new zero 7 track is dosing me with a little bit of that right now.
my name is jeremy. myr is music i'm digging and pictures i'm taking. both will be all over the place.
