(part 458 in a 1001 part series)
This is another record I just dug out of my giant mail bin full of unlistened discs… one that I had overlooked until I read about a song on NPR’s Second Stage and thought I’d give it a once through.
Not sure what it is about this song… the computerized pulsing beats, the synth lines, the ominous and dissonant vocal melodies? But this song by Fol Chen (from their album Part I: John Shade, Your Fortune’s Made) is really working for me.
I like it. Nice combination of synth/real. eery sounding. Would make for a good trailer soundtrack I think…
I think when home appliances start to become sentient and develop emoting functions, this is what they will listen to when they’re sad.
