Some Goodies


Com Touch by Chris Clark is an exciting little taste of his upcoming album set to be released sometime this year. I would classify it as modern prog synth. Clark has been around since the advent of IDM and most of his music is comparable to Aphex Twin and the like. This song: A+, and as with most electronica, you miss out on 75% of the music when only using computer speakers. (Nudge nudge, hint wink, wink nudge, nudge wink, wink hint, nudge hint, SLAP! Bet you didn’t see that coming.)


The Butterfly Technique by Mux Mool has a sweet break beat that’ll get your head-a-bobbin’. Also includes some very engaging synth work that builds to a subtle yet epic climax. Mux Mools recent release Planet High School is definitely an album worth your consideration. So consider it.



Sonic Armada by Air is one of my fav’s off of their new album “a trip to the moon” aka “Le Voyage Dans La Lune.” I think that a good way to describe this song would be: funky beat with a mad R2D2 solo. Overall, I would say that Air doesn’t have the same depth of emotion that many of their previous albums have, but its still an enjoyable listen if you spotify or find a stream.



Let’s Groove by Teen Daze is one of his most unique songs, in that it doesn’t really fit into his genre of Glo-fi/Chillwave music. (And this genre, by the way, is definitely a sinking ship. Too many uncreative kids are creating this music in their basement and making it very difficult to wade through it all to find the bands worth listening to. Bands like such as: Teen Daze, Washed Out, Teeel, and Brothertiger… speaking of which…)


Next is Evening Glow (Keep Shelly in Athens remix) by Brothertiger who is touring Europe this spring with TEEN DAZE. He also makes some worthy tunes, this is one of my favorites, even though it is heavily remixed.

Lastly, Love out of lust (Saturday, Monday Bootleg Remix) by Lykke Li. Why this you ask? I guess I just tacked it on because, well, I came across it and I liked to listen to it so you should also listen to it because you should also enjoy what I have been enjoying without you up until now. No further questions; have a good day.



And remember:
