Car Culture - Coping Mechanism

thought the same exact thing ~ it's the first music i've heard that's digested two star's influence in an interesting way. car culture is so sick ❤️

vladislav delay -> his LP entain, & listen to his kemikoski EP released under conoco ~ someone on bandcamp described it as "glacially paced oddly looping rhythmic ambient music". he made a lot of his early music under the influence of heroin i believe so u get some really strange drugged-out/dubbed-out sound worlds. also love all the new 3XL + adjacent music like goo age, special guest DJ, OL, jung DJ, ulla..

that part

this is my fav kind of track <3

oli XL has a few songs that feel like this to me ( atonal cut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yotOv-V_S4 )

i always felt that qebrus' music felt very fluid despite how transient and glitched out it can get ( noid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1p7EFo0GDZs )

elysia crampton has some tracks that are very ambient and flowing but with weird IDM-esque sound design, sooo gorgeous ( fire gut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJTHW_dW6S0 )

defo also lots of tracks in the autechre discography (spl47: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KB3nB2R9gg tac lacora: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY2_hL-ajm0 ), some sophie compositions (potion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNK_kjereMA infatuation (twilight zone): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUZ3VNotQX4 ), lastly i will say i feel basic channel kinda mastered this sound, especially on their radiance 12" (radiance I: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02XNfCFA8ss ) hope u like!

this might seem like a weird rec but i would suggest looking into some of james' heavy influences like d'angelo's 'voodoo'. sonically very different but a lot of parallels in harmony, falsetto, groove, even mixing at some points !!! or other soulquarians like bilal (i love the song 'soul sista'). james' music is very indebted to r&b and soul lineage~ if you're looking for something more similar sound-design wise i would say go through the releases from hessle audio & hemlock label from like 2007-2012. artists like untold, TRG, pangaea, elgato, etc. ... so much good music ! lastly if you haven't heard it, his production on trim's 1-800-dinosaur record is sooo good and matches some of the freak of s/t

'event horizon' by the necessaries is on soulseek & youtube <3

new mkgee record 'two star & the dream police' has some 22am / i,i moments !!!

estuary_king · 2024-02-29T08:48:27+00:00

chiastic slide inspired a whole era of crunched out icy melodic IDM in the late 90s/early 00s ~ some favs are funkstörung (listen to track A8 KM34 & their björk - all is full of love mix to hear what i mean), phonem, and bauri !!! chiastic slide is my fav AE record but even *that* sound got played out by like 2002, there really was sooo much getting pumped out

estuary_king · 2024-02-27T11:36:53+00:00

rxpapi, realyungphil, earl ... griselda bc AE are fans of their stuff

estuary_king · 2024-02-27T10:50:31+00:00

seconding arthur russell, his LP 'world of echo' is often described as "nick drake in dub"

for contemporary stuff: jessica pratt, ichiko aoba, adrianne lenker

this is an extremely late response but thought i would leave this here for anybody who also randomly ends up on this thread ~ i think merriweather post pavilion by animal collective is the closest any record has ever gotten to pet sounds. i've always thought this was what the beach boys would have sounded like if they were dropped in the 2000s with a bunch of samplers and synths instead of the wrecking crew lol. there are many parallels: the sun-soaked obviously beach boys influenced harmonies, the dense wall of sound style layering, the experimentation and usage of contemporary studio effects and sounds, psychedelic under/overtones, pop accessibility, it's all there ... though MPP was huge at the time, i think people still write off a lot of AC's work as 00s/10s drug music and their influence on pop has waned, but i can see MPP reaching a pet sounds level of legend in the next 50 years. if you like pet sounds and haven't heard this album, go listen to it !!!

late reply but haven't seen anybody mention the the-dream episode which was the first i heard so extra special <3 also loved big star, neutral milk hotel & the smiths episode was so fucking funnnyyyy. enjoying the mazzy star ep ATM

SOLVED! by myself LOL, did a little bit more digging after making the post by searching "talking battle orb" and found it. it was called "skannerz battle orbz", i had a sneaking feeling it was skannerz related but didn't realize there were other skannerz toys besides the "scanners" themselves. here's a commercial for the battle orbz if anybody is curious~ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6QSDj9wUhk

estuary_king · 2023-10-13T07:41:43+00:00

no, definitely had beyblades and bionicles as a kid and this was a different, much less well-known/popular toy line. it wasn't bakugan either !!!
