Rhythm based lovers
After acquiring the new Beautiful Swimmers 12″ that Erik so kindly posted a track and video from, I searched the depths of the internet to find a copy of the previous release on Future Times, a limited 45 of which there are supposedly 300 in existence. It’s no northern soul, but what’s great about it, is that it’s rad NEW music. You can tell this is all produced on machines and it grooves with a synthetic motion, but perhaps that’s the charm that draws me to it. I don’t really know what it is about this track that mesmerizes me, but something about those melodies mechanically spun out with a nervous vibrato over the soft hum of pad synths makes me smile. That may sound lame but this track is endearing in the sense that when you’ve had a bottle of wine on a Tuesday night, this provides the perfect soundtrack to contemplating greater things as you gaze out over the city lights. Things will be better in future times.
