Bob MosesDomino / CA

  

In search of the perfect electronic song
Born and raised in Canada but now working from New York, the duo comprised of Tom Howie and Jimmy Vallance operate at the intersection where silky contemporary electronica meets classic pop composition. In fact their songs uncover the myriad of possibilities that exist when combining these elements. Their debut album, “Days Gone By”, released on Domino in September 2015, draws from their continual quest for perfection, both in rhythm (r&b, house, electronica and impeccable production) and the lyrical use of vocals. Their synth pop delights are at times reminiscent of Hot Chip at their most poetic, or outstanding bands like Metronomy, Chromatics and other renowned Canadian band Junior Boys –their sound is also not a million miles away from that of James Blake-. Their concert will therefore be perfectly placed under the sunshine, on the grass in the magical atmosphere of SónarVillage, the main stage at Sónar by Day. 
Vallance and Howie met at the Vancouver School of Art, but it was not until several years later following a chance encounter that led to their joint project. Their medium paced sophisticated and captivating house music quickly caught the attention of Brooklyn label Scissor & Thread, whose like minded artists include Black Light Smoke and Frank & Tony. The label released their first two EPs, “Hands To Hold” and “Far From The Tree” with which they began to win over their first fan base and saw their subsequent move to prominent label Domino. Their music effortlessly captures the contrast between the nocturnal euphoria and melancholia of the big city.

CAROLINE K’S LOST CULT LP “NOW WAIT FOR LAST YEAR” TO BE RE-ISSUED

  
Caroline K’s 1985 album of post-industrial synth music (her only published solo work) has gained a fervent following over the 30 years since it’s release, with original copies extremely rare and costly. She took the title of the album, which can be described as industrial, minimal synth or proto-techno, from a 1966 sci-fi novel by Philip K. Dick. She formed Nocturnal Emissions in 1980 with Nigel Ayers, contributing voice, synthesizer, bass and later they also co-founded Sterile Records, one of the key underground imprints of its time, home to music from the likes of SPK, Lustmord and Maurizio Bianchi. In later life Walters retreated from the public eye, moving to Garfagnana, Italy, where she resided until her death from leukaemia on July 12, 2008.

Shit Robot – OB-8 – SoundCloud

Shit Robot, that most unfortunately named DFA stalwart, has built a career on dependability—you could say to a fault. Stylistically, he may veer from synthy house and cheeky disco to something with vocals or a funk-laced backbone, but the execution is always straight down the middle. There are usually no surprises from Marcus Lambkin, just a buoyant beat and a few analog timbres to keep things colorful. This is one way to describe his latest single, and yet there’s something unusual in his approach. Both sides of OB-8 / Torpedo use tension and prolonged grooves to drench dance floors in cosmic, hypnotic drama.

On the A-side, an Oberheim, the titular synth of “OB-8,” takes the lead with a 4/4 kick. It’s an excursion rich with quiet euphoria, never delivering an exciting build or cathartic drop. Nor should it. Lambkin assembles his lush motif with loon calls, filter sweeps, shimmery pads, light rhythmic accents and a subtly fluctuating bass tone that delivers no more than three notes, always on the upbeat. The nuances of “OB-8” are thrilling on their own.

“Torpedo” does bigger, bolder damage. Bulbous low-end and a carnal energy take charge here, and the music thrives on these base pleasures. As far as deep, big-room house goes, there’s nothing out of the ordinary about its arrangement, so it’s how Lambkin plays with the tropes that matters. He takes those overused, and often underdeveloped, ideas, inflates them to a gargantuan stature and gives it all a shot of adrenaline spiked with God knows what.
