A Sufi and A Killer, pt. 1

Thomas posted an article on - Apr 18, 2010, 7:30 pm
The easy way out is to say that A Sufi and A Killer is a strange wonder of an album that evades description, and leave it at that. Actually, there is no easy way out of this album. My favourite description of the record so far simply hailed it "the new soul"--a beautiful idea, which is pretty vag...

echo chamber mixtape

another mixtape. It's mostly reggae and rocksteady tunes, peppered with some lo-fi R&B and other echoey jams. I was moved by the raw intensity and intimacy of a lot of these songs, which is why I thought I'd create a special mixtape for them to live in--a mixtape of reverb-swept recordings, full o...

Burial & Four Tet - "Moth" My first response to "Moth" was that it felt emotionally heavy, like it contained the weight of the world, that it had a pervasive sadness that couldn't quite be labelled sadness, that it was like "crushing existential despair packaged in a song." I found myself wish...

Bat For Lashes - "Daniel" It would make sense if, instead of a song, "Daniel" was a vampire. That would explain the song's hypnotic presence, its eroticism--its cold, dark romance--and why you're powerless to resist it. Singer, Natasha Khan, barely has to whisper the first line and you'...
