I've been hanging around on the music platform
Nina Protocol for awhile. I add
yk releases and try to get a feel for the platform. For such an early stage platform, there are some
impressive adopters. The majority of music I have encountered on there has been some form of bedroom electronica - not a bad thing in the slightest!
That said, I recently ran across Hop's debut album -
You Would Like That and I'm totally smitten! It's a smidge of electronic flavor but it's avant garde, it's pop, it's ambient, it's chaotic, it's immersive. It's a lot of things but all blended masterfully. Nina doesn't have an embed, so lets use the
Bandcamp.
I was enjoying from the start but once the third track started - an 8-minute long escapade called "
Testicle Wing" - I was completely hooked. The gentle vibe of the song mixed with that psychedelic narration is just perfect.
Great record and I look forward to hearing more from hop! I may even pick up that
cassette with beaded charm.
