If you haven't noticed, I'm running through all the
yk records releases of 2016 just as a reminder that if you missed out on one of these phenomenal releases, you still have time to catch up.
In June,
Makeup and Vanity Set released
Brigador, Volume I, the soundtrack to an
indie game of the same name. In October, he followed it up with
Volume II. Both are available on beautiful vinyl tucked inside packaging by
version industries. Of course, they're both streaming everywhere (
Volume I,
Volume II).
For me, this is a tiny glimpse into the true future of Makeup and Vanity Set music. It's a great blend of his extremely dark soundscapes (ala
Wilderness) and some of the dancier stuff that he did much previously. In other words, it's dark and apocalyptic like you want from a MAVS release but it's still oddly
accessible. I can foresee this work all over movies and TV; a future that I don't think it's fantasy in the slightest.
