Commercial: s/t?
Darla DRL-093
Minimalist? demented instrumental pop from Hell. Where Boards of Canada
might take their seventies analog influences and disguise them in
downtempo IDM trappings, these guys (Trevor Holland and Sean O'Neal) are
completely unashamed to wear Sesame Street and Atari on their sleeve.
3-2-1 Contact! Embeds a permanent, J.R. Bob Dobbs smile on your face
while you commit unmentionable crimes against humanity. Ends on an
uplifting beatless number, perfect for mopping up all that blood. Maybe
it's just me, but this kind of repetitive ultra-happiness is truly the
most subversive music you can buy, stepping beyond even µ-ziq's
cutesiest moments. Sampled curses (Christ! Shit!) are dabbled about here
and there to indicate that yes, this pair knows exactly the kind of
damage they're doing. More approaching-millenium terminal-irony stuff to
confirm that no, nothing is sacred, especially not if it has to do with childhood.
