| I don't care what god you worship, that's an awesome album cover |
I’ll be the first to admit I don’t listen to enough
trip-hop. I can’t think of anyone
who would accuse me of that, but regardless I apologize. Let me make it up to you with
this.
Basement Skylights is…I don’t
really know really. Their facebook
says they are four guys: Tab, Anitek, A.U.R.C.,Hernan Faraci who jammed
together and sampled themselves to make their self titled album. That’s about all the info I got on he
band. The music is a bit more
telling.
Every
track on the album, WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE HERE, is less then 4 minute
which is pretty short for trip-hop.
In that short amount of time these guys add a lot of great sounds that
range in moods of mellow and ambient to crowded and desperate. Each one is fantastically experimental,
and fuses various styles, and influences to reach the similar trip-hop
end. Take the track
Undertone. The background has a
great scratchy record foundation with a steady bassline, and almost “flamenco-y”
guitar parts. The other little
parted added in fill in the gaps like little dots in a mosaic adding seemingly
insignificant pieces that help create the whole piece. And just as soon as it begins, it
ends. That’s one of the reasons I
chose this track because it should tease you just enough to try the rest of the
release.
The
self-titled album, which dropped a few months ago, is free to download on the link I
posted above. You can also follow
them on the facebook and soundcloud.
