I love how each member of Autolux don’t care about ‘being heard’, they will only play what is necessary to make the track perfect. No overcomplicated tracks, just plain and simply fantastic!

viral melodic thread, haunted horns, child spirits singing – soundtrack to a surreal sunny winter day in an abandoned playground

Baths
Anticon, Album (full-length)

Baths is intriguing. He really captivates in a live setting despite the fact that he is just using a midi controller, his laptop and vocals. He proves that you can definitely be a solo laptop artist and make it very interesting live. His songs bursts with pop-glitch beauty!

When this album first came out I couldn’t even take it out of my car. I take that back, it’s still in my car, haha. No matter the mood, Baths could usually fit it. The album is exciting, but at the same time can be very relaxing. Mix of ambient, minimalism, glitchy, triphop, just something fun to sit back and listen to. And definitely good for a long drive.

Tracker music is nouveau retro and irresistibly geeky. Binarpilot does it right. His music is accessible, unique, and terribly catchy. What’s more, his pro-piracy campaign cleverly shilled the new album through troll-baiting commenters. How Fun!

Bonobo has always been a great artist, but he seems to have matured a lot with his production on this album. I played it to alot of my friends/family who don’t really dig electronic music and they loved it!
