MMOTHS // THNX Video

Flourish Fills // Workhorse & Guru

This artist from Montreal blew me away with last year's Gentle Beast and Sunstroke so my expectations were high when he released these two gems to his Soundcloud recently, and they do not disappoint. Guru features extensive gating which really makes the track pulse with the glo-fi sound. Both tracks need to be heard on a real system to be appreciated in full. You know how some stuff that sounded good on headphones when played on a system sound like low bit-rate MP3, these tracks are the opposite. What sounded average over headphones (and I've got Bose headphones) became a fist pumping wave of chill when I heard it proper, IE amplified.

Nature's Kid // alwyz



 I flipped over the Nature's Kid Loops LP, which is still available as a 'name your price' download at 
his Bandcamp and is full of great tracks, so I was excited when Ryan Solomon of San Diego, who is the force behind Nature's Kid and the project known as DUDES dropped me this track from a new album-in-progress, and the track doesn't disappoint. I won't waste words trying to describe the music except to say that it is beautiful and the deft manipulation of the vocal sample elevates the track to the highest levels of chill.
