<<Some comments please on Fingernail's "Childhool in Aeden"??>>
Except to point out that Fingernail is Adam DiAngelo from Philadelphia and
this is the only release on his own Doubtful label, I won't go into any more
technical details about that album because you can find reviews and quite a
bit more on www.doubtful.com --> click on artists --> click on fingernail -->
click on the photo on the right side.
I just picked this up a few days ago actually and I have to say I love it and
I've been listening to it constantly. It's got that soft, melodic, indie-rock
electro feel very similar to the new Solvent, Console's album, Perspects, and
Fischerspooner. *A lot* like Fischerspooner. Not quite as aggressive as
Adult. I'd say it's every bit as good as all of those, and where some of the
tracks are kind of limp it's cool because there's 18 of them and most are
totally G.T. (i.e., game tight). A couple "floorfiller" type electro tracks
(that are really nice if you're hip to that scene) but mostly chill happy-soft
ambient electro with some light electro beats that are sometimes
uncharacteristically complex (i.e., IDMish) for that notoriously simplistic
subgenre, but don't expect IDM, because it's just not. A few of the tracks
have a very childlike female singing (rather what you'd expect from the
title); on a couple dude sings (only occasionally waxing cheesy with lame
croons like "this kiss shall proceed"--no, it's mostly good, really). I don't
know why I just found out about this, as I try to stay on top of this
subgenre, but big-ups to the IDML because I'm sure I heard about it here
first.
In fact, some of the tracks are quite amazing, like the 1st, 3rd (sorry, I
think they're all just called "Aeden" for the first several), 12th, and 15th,
but I haven't entirely broken it in. The imperative in Sanskrit can take any
person. Can you believe that shit?
