A restrained down-tempo beat buttressed by lushly echoic house vocals, all of it laced with organometallic detritus… and then, at 1:40, the real goodness drops with ad astra synths and a square bass rocket booster. May the warm weather permit many a gazing night.
This may or may not be my last post before plunging into the depths of internship. Thought the night time, lonely drive mood of this new track from Tiga sufficiently encapsulated my (growing) apprehensions. Plus, it’s slick — produced by none other than James Murphy at DFA studios. Will be calling everyone soon with convincing arguments along the lines of, “there is no way I can be as good of a doctor as I want to be.” My apologies in advance.
Finally figured out how to ape Kilo’s publishing techniques, if not his inimitable style. This is the first track on the new Moderat (Modeselektor and Apparat) album. The slow, modular progression and melancholy tone served me well in my final days driving around B’more. Not to cheesily project, but to me there’s something in this song suggestive of both closures and, as the title suggests, beginnings.
