SONGSAYS 008EP
|
Brooklyn-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Visuals debuts on thesongsays with the beautifully well-rounded EP The State Of Things, following his 2013 debut EP on Nicolas Jaar's Other People imprint (OP 005EP), and continues to excel with his distinctive vocal style, melodic richness, and the acute subtlety of his lyrical content. The title-track is pure tropical melancholia, with quirky textures and post-production courtesy of DARKSIDE member Dave Harrington. On the flip, the buoyant bassline and infectious chorus of "Days Of Our Youth" precede closer "No Handle" -- pensive, deep, and hypnotic for the noir corners of early-morning dancefloors.

OP 005EP
|
Andrew Fox sketches psychic spaces and emotions like a cinematographer in conversation with himself. Fox formed a three-piece band called Visuals in 2012, choosing the name as an oblique reference to a debilitating ocular disorder he suffered as a child. His previous releases were a series of cryptic self-released 7" singles written in collaboration with drummer Marshall Ryan. After recording and producing much of the arrangements himself, Fox handed the songs for this debut EP off to Darkside guitarist Dave Harrington for a final round of mixing and edits. His partner Nicolas Jaar finished the job, lending the record a distinctive psychedelic thump that fits Fox's songs hand-in-glove.
