Clubroot - Solar Flares

Definitely a bit of Burial influence on this — particularly in the abstracted vocal samples — but if Burial is evocative of the dim London streets, then this track was brought forth from a hidden cave system kilometers below those streets.

Cavernous reverb and echo drenches everything except the beat, which keeps a nice, tight rhythm. The bass ebbs and swells, only leaving you a few fleeting moments to break the surface. If you can listen to this one on speakers with good bass response, I recommend it!

Clubroot - Solar Flares

Primal echoes weave around a melody dreaming in sound. There’s a hint of Burial-esque magic in here.

Tycho - Coastal Brake

“As the third single released in anticipation of Scott Hansen’s long-awaited full-length as Tycho, “Coastal Brake” may be the best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “Coastal Brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-Balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax.”

Nice bit of word-smithery from the label description there. Trying to describe music in words is often unwieldy and can come off overdone—in this case the music lives up to it’s verbiage.

Some sweet ambient electronic music from Edmonton’s Mikey Maybe. Best enjoyed with a mug of Ovaltine.
