Daedelus
I promised I'd get back on track Monday and now that the hectic pace of the last 2 weeks has slowed, I will be posting regularly again, starting with a track from the newest release from Daedelus. In my opinion, his newest batch of inclusive beat fodder, Exquisite Corpse, is his best record yet, featuring eccentric touches and a humbling expansiveness that truly know no boundaries. There are a handful of quality collaborations here with the likes of MF Doom, Mike Ladd, Prefuse 73 and TTC but I decided to post the instrumental "Just Briefly" because to me, it represents what Daedelus does best. Juxtaposing acoustic guitars with a solid midtempo break, psychedelic samples and emotive atmospherics (even a stretch reminiscent of Luke Vibert's "Shadows" at the half way point), it shows a creative perspective undeterred by misguided musical preconceptions. Exactly what scissorkick loves. Look out this week for new stuff from Odd Nosdam, Animal Collective, Quasimoto and Jaga Jazzist. It'll be a big week. Thanks for all your patience.
