The most interesting (so, naturally, the hardest to pin down semantically) project of this trio, >°)))) 彡 is a catalog of previously unreleased work from Los Angeles(?)-based artist ChXnSxCh. Pair with: fresh carnival cotton candy partially-filled ashtraysįavorite tracks: “Strangers Dream”, “From Blue”, “I Want to Forget” Kick up your feet you will remain entertained. “All killer, no filler” feels almost inappropriate to say for something of this genre, but it’s the most apt note for what Everytime delivers. There’s a distinct forward motion to each track, and Meltway is never mired down with the worthless noodling or flat, unchanging dynamics that tend to detract from the projects of their peers. In spite of this seeming predictability, Everytime carries with it some certain ineffable quality that makes it a genuinely exciting, euphoric listen you know this sound, but you know not where it will take you. Wistful, shoegaze’d dreamy Danish indie pop, with all the familiar elements you might expect from such a genre combination: wafer-thin, unintelligible vocals, heavy reverb, guitars drenched in feedback, and so on and so forth.
Pair with: ill-advised spelunking expeditions making slow, soapy circles with your mop on the linoleum You descend, and you descend up becomes an impossibility.
There’s not much in these songs to anchor yourself to they function more like abysses. Like crumpled origami placed in water, the mood swells, unfolds, bursts sultry vocal samples and warbling sine waves echo brightly, tall, lit lampposts that signal to one another from across canyons of darkness. Both tracks on this release, despite their subdued sonic palettes-a deep, cavernous bass thwob here, a clicking percussive skeleton there-make the absolute most of their time, and Randaru does a pitch-perfect job at controlling their pacing and evolution. Minimal, sticky, glossy tech house from Ukraine: a dark dancefloor submerged in Vaseline. This edition features albums from Randaru, Meltway, and ChXnSxCh. Bandcamp Roulette is a feature from contributor Secat that scours Bandcamp for interesting, new, and under-the-radar releases.
