I thought that I'd never be a 'me too' post kind of guy, but the Elastic
Speakers record is an accomplished work of sonic mayhem. Just when
you thought that you'd heard it all, along someone comes with a new
twist. This guy's specialty is funky (there's that word again) chewy
analog sounds piled in a syncopated mess. But with a beat. And nothing
at all to do with Jungle. Much as I like junglish stuff (in small doses)
I'm at the point where I DON'T want to hear yet another IDM type musician
come out with his take on Jungle.
My 6 year old invented a word that he used to characterize his
pacifier: "Yubby" which is a sort of portmanteau of 'Rubber' and 'Yummy'
meaning something chewy and rubbery and comforting. That's what I'd
call Elastic Speakers, Yubby!!!
