Listen: Drab Majesty – “Ellipsis” [2019]

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Very Warm

Ooooo wee the new Drab Majesty album is a heater. With this and the Boy Harsher album, I’d say we’re set with darkwave/synthwave records for the year. Anything else and we’re just getting spoiled. I’m not against that happening, however. … Continue reading →

Listen: Body Meat – “Nairobi Flex” [2019]

Posted on July 21, 2019 by Very Warm

Shout out to my buddy who just put me onto Philly duo Body Meat, which is like a combination of most things I love. Blown out electronics, frenetic synthetic percussion, complex polyrhythms, wild production and melodic, autotuned (but not totally … Continue reading →
