I've been on a huge IDM kick in the past couple weeks, and I've pretty much submerged my head in this music in a way that is unusual for me. When I go through phases, usually it's like a few bands that I think are "neat" and I just obsess for a while, after which I just return to my generic taste.
But in the past couple weeks I want to say I've downloaded about two gigagbytes of new music, supplied by a healthy list of awesome blogs (RIP shoegazeralive), and I am loving it.
So.
Com Truise. Not really sure what I can compare this to. I would put them in the same boat as the band I posted a week or two ago, Houses. Mellow electronic music, affluent in danceable rhythms, funky beats and lovely synths and pads. "BASF Ace" makes me feel like I should be walking down the street completely naked, not giving a fuck.
I am/was not so familiar with the recent fad of 'chillwave' that many astute bloggers seem to have noticed. I'm not one to get caught in social trends for the wrong reasons when it comes to music, (a la Wavves/Best Coast/Girls) so I think I can say this music adequately stands out against the electronic music you'll find elsewhere. A good jumping off point if you're fresh off the Boards of Canada boat. Plant your feet on this EP, entitled Cyanide Sisters, you won't regret it.
This EP is also a reissue, as it was Com Truise's (aka Seth Haley) first release. It was released for free and I believe is still available as a free download from a number of places. (officially, of course).
Listen to the standout track "Slow Peels" here via youtube.
Download here, or pay literally 99 cents for the reissue here.
And listen to it! The King of Limbs can wait.
UPDATE: I just realized that the song "BASF Ace" is incorrectly tagged on this particular upload. It is tagged as "Basf Base," wheras it should be "BASF Ace." My apologies.
