Writing about music in lieu of human interaction
Seo - Citrus Paradisi Nigerian/Irish artist Seo sounds like she's had a strong cup of coffee or two since September's Pink Noise. Where that album floated, "Citrus Paradisi" flows, gliding along atop the world's chillwaviest reggaeton beat. Switching between English and Spanish, Seo asks, "Can you take me home to paradise?", also murmuring about grapefruits … Continue reading Daily Discovery 11.11.19
MMYYKK - Better [For The Love] Mychal Fisher (aka MMYYKK) is a Minneapolis-based synth wizard who operates both solo and as a member of the Astralblak collective; his ElectroSoul EP is due out tomorrow. "Better [For The Love]," a single from the album, is a breakbeat-led I'm Sorry ballad; reflecting quietly atop a bed of … Continue reading Daily Discovery 11.07.19
Inchoate - sommeil raisonné Toronto's Inchoate (defined by Merriam-Webster as "being only partly in existence or operation, imperfectly formed or formulated") creates improvisational "audio sculptures" using "component chains of signal generation, effect, and decay." I'm not entirely sure how that works, but what I do know is that "sommeil raisonné," the first track on Inchoate's … Continue reading Daily Discovery 11.06.19

"Mafioso Status," produced by Kheyzine, sees Burns breaking out flows both menacing and melodic overtop neo-noir strings and piano. He remembers trading the stoop for the streets at twelve years old, … Continue reading Daily Discovery 11.05.19

Andrea Crestani - Lost In Space As far as I know, "Lost In Space," from the new Earthly EP (Echolette/Echoe) by England's Andrea Crestani, was not inspired by the 60's sci-fi sitcom. The track is a rush of galactic synth tones, bouncing tech bass, and trancelike beats. Listen while staring intently at the album's colorfully … Continue reading Daily Discovery 10.31.19
Avant-Bird - A2 Bird Bard, out on cassette from Lincoln, NE's Gay Hippie Vampire label, is a split between the artists Avant-Bird and Avant-Bard. "A2" is the second track from Avant-Bird, who I can only assume to be an artistically experimental goose that sets up a bunch of instruments in an enclosed space and then … Continue reading Daily Discovery 10.29.19
