Tracey Thorn: Opposites EP (Review)

Tracey Thorn

Opposites

Released by Merge Records


Even before the beats on 1996's Walking Wounded made Everything But the Girl electro-pop royalty overnight, I was often a wee distracted by some forced lyricism. The insistence on the standard verse/chorus form with the A/B scheme sometimes made lofty sentiments feel overwrought. The remix resolves this issue.

Blue Daisy: Seen Through A Blue-Tinged Spectrum (Podcast)

URB Presents

Blue Daisy: Seen Through A Blue-Tinged Spectrum


With bass culture splintering all over the world, producers have been looking for ways to channel their sound in ways that were once unimaginable to listeners. Some producers went towards percussion, some with specific synthesized sounds, and others relied on atmosphere to distinguish themselves from the rest of the pack. In some unusual-but-wholly-sensible way, Blue Daisy fits that trifecta of sounds, going between rhythms, vibes, and beats with an ever-expanding soundscape that continues to grow with each release. With only two releases, he’s been championed by DJs and producers all around, setting himself up for a massive year ahead. Lying between the borders of hip-hop, dub, and tech, Blue Daisy delivers a mix that is a mystery to all listeners, as a tracklist was “unavailable.” It makes for an audible ride through the mind of a producer who is already one step ahead of most. Blue Daisy also had a bit of time to give us some info on his origins, his focus on spaced-out atmosphere and his future.
