INC.
Wait for it…to deliver.
Inc., formerly known as Teen Inc. (the retro-lectro duo responsible for the velvety “Fountains”, one of my favorite tracks last year), recently signed to 4AD. Before dropping their debut album early next year, the brothers have provided us with the soul-saturated, humming pop sound of “Swear”. Hushed vocal longings are coupled with laser fragments and pixelated bass rumbles all while the most legit new jack swing beat rocks your face off in the foreground. ”Swear” will appear on Inc.’s soon-to-be-released 3 EP which will be available digitally July 25th on 4AD — give me this full length now!
I’m back at it posting for photosynthblog, so check them out.
Labyrinth Ear
“Amethyst Days”
This sexy little slice of earnest electro builds and builds and builds and then dissipates back from whence it came… leaving you aching for more.
Grab your copy of the UK artist’s Apparitions EP over at bandcamp.
London Bridges
“Hold Me Close”
This is damn sexy…the kind of mood setter that puts the bed in bedroom.
Check out the beautifully restrained downtempo LoveSongs EP over and bandcamp.
Dead Times
“Freefall”
Nice and slow…dark and brooding. Perfect Monday tune.
A trend seems to be emerging out of our little micro-genre; a trend that we’re all too eager to get behind. This paradigm renders itself through the blend of RnB aesthetics and bass music production. Dead Times, US native’s and all around solid guys, are the perfect example of this recent movement. Although they do utilize tidy vocals, that doesn’t necessarily mean they rely on them to carry their production. Rather, musicality is brought to the forefront along with the ghostly verbal melodies. In the instance of their new gem “Freefall” this certain ethic is exemplified to the T. Raw bass rhythms mixed with breathy harmonics layer themselves across the soundscape like a warm blanket, coating the listeners’ ear with the temperate touch of oozy reverb. For more RnB inspired hymns and a download of the track above, find the boys on Soundcloud.
Rhye
“The Fall”
Need something to float away to on those soon-to-be brisk fall morning walks to the subway? Then press play.
Rhye are back with The Fall EP, out 10/9. Sounding like a cross between early Feist and El Perro Del Mar, “The Fall” is a slick blend of groove and whisper.
