Review of Various Artists - Relay The Fallback EXCLUSIVE EMUSIC ONLY

jakub — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:01:52 -0600

The rising Moodgadget label specializes in the kind of dance-optional, texture-obsessive electronic music that could easily descend into "joyless" territory. Luckily, it does not — there is a charming, almost cute feel to Moodgadget's approach. It's wispy but not weak; delicate but rarely cloying.

Praveen's "Slip Slop" opens cleanly enough with an electronic clip-clop and a fetching piano line, until layers of sound start disappearing, whirring back to life and then malfunctioning again; it's an entrancing three minutes, and an excellent preview of what follows. Shigeto's "Winter Thaw" is an aptly titled trudge through melting snowpack, while D. Gookin's twee "Remember" is a charming bit of Junior Boys-esque synth-pop. Two of the strongest tracks here are also the quietest: A Setting Sun — who released the excellent Empty Sound last year — contribute the gorgeous "Sun Position 6pm on a Summer Sunday," its tiny wave-crashes and plinks almost washed out by its gorgeous, celestial pulses. Benoit Pioulard's "Kids Are Getting Younger (Small Sails remix)" is all whispers and acoustic guitar, like a sad-eyed folk singer lost on a Fennesz record.

Christine - Good Ideas EP out now

jakub — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 02:42:27 -0600

Christine consists of Julian Carnrite & Kevin Schmidt from Vancouver, BC. The duo have a similar sound to city mates Circlesquare, with complimenting hints of Hot Chip's harmonies, Gary Numan's stripped down takes, and Swayzak's deep drive. Julian and Kevin write hooks that don't clamor for the spotlight; they are content being the soundtrack to cheap nights out with friends, driving 'til the early morning and turning tricks.
