Baths – Cerulean (Review)

Baths

Cerulean

Released by anticon.


The anticon sound has experienced a discernible shift from weirdo rap to ambient, richly-textured soundscapes in recent years. While I can still enjoy the dadaist raps of yesteryear, the recent electronic chaos unleashed by the likes of Tobacco, Dosh and now Baths, is hard to resist. Will Wiesenfiled, the artist better known as Baths, taught himself various instruments including the viola, contra bass and guitar and has been recording music since the age of 13. His densely-layered orchestra on Cerulean includes everything from snapping scissors to running water in addition to his delicate, awkward crooning.

HEALTH – ::Disco2 (Review)

Health

::Disco2

Released by Lovepump United


Balancing the dance floor with the off-center and the odd, HEALTH culled the indie electronica gamut for this twelve-track pastiche (the deluxe version features twelve additional mixes from Rainbow Arabia, Clipd Breaks, 8-bit warriors Yip-Yip, etc.)
