It’s pretty awesome when, unexpectedly, a track ends up in my email inbox that not only touts itself as reminiscent of a Kompakt Speicher release but also manages to hold to the expectation that creates. A blast from Moodgadget Records brought with it a handful of treats I’ve yet to unwrap, and this one, which I’ve already devoured and am regurgitating for you to also taste. It’s how baby birds get their music.
Frank Omura: The Juggernaut Audition
I know nothing about Frank other than what I’m told, which is that his influences are “AFX, Audion, Mr Oizo and James T Cotton”-which, c’mon, are not bad things at all. It’s his forthcoming Moodgadget EP Unshaven Face which is given the “RIYL Speicher” workover, and this track actually *does* hold true to said workover. Bouncing, frothy and pretty simultaneously, it does totally ring with the feeling one would get from blind-buying the old Kompakt 12″s imprinted with that now-infamous dragon-clawed double-headed eagle and letting oneself get lost in a bubbly, bobbled tech-freak world.
This is good stuff.
