It's the Supersound

I briefly mentioned this before, but Dubbel Dutch is in town this Thursday at Evil Olive’s KDM Let’s Get Weird, then Saturday afternoon at Mica‘s End Of Summer Ustream Party. I’ll definitely be stopping by before North Coast Fest.

I wanna rewind my year a big and listen to a Mimosa joint. Brings me back to the Do-Lab this year, with my jaw on the floor. Keep an eye out for a mini-LP being dropped early next month. Man, I love bass music when it’s done right.

Mimosa – Kinetic

Neon Indian is having a “Psychic Chasms” re-release with a bunch of new remixes. Among them is this Anoraak piece. Nobody creates 80′s-era synthesized nostalgia quite like this guy. I hope there’s a US tour in his future.

Neon Indian – Psychic Chasms (Anoraak Remix)

Here’s a Jarvis Cocker gem, remixed by Pilooski. Aside from being part of Discodeine, which is rad, Pilooski does a fair share of excellent remixing work as well. The Von Sudenfeld track is still a favorite of mine.

It’s hard to believe that the intricately layered melodies of Folded Light are the product of two friends (and not say, a legion of musicians), but it’s true. Steve Damstra and Jaffe Zinn make up the Los Angeles-based band, who released their self-titled debut in 2009, and Kelly earlier this year. Folded Light’s deceptively simple and catchy soundscapes belie the complexly woven arrangements beneath them. There is an oddly cinematic feel to Folded Light’s music; “Landscape” in particular conjures up images of open roads and rolled down windows. (It doesn’t come as a total surprise to learn that both Zinn and Damstra have other film-based projects: Zinn is currently finishing post-production on his first feature length film and Damstra composes music for television and film). Summer might be winding down, but take a listen to two of my favorite songs from Kelly, and see if you can’t extend the feeling a bit longer. The hints of lo-fi fuzz amid rolling guitar licks made “Kelly” one of my summer jams, while “Landscape” is a delightfully woven fabric of intricate melody, sweet vocals and humming instrumentals.

Delicately fuzzed-out melodic harmonies.
