Tripping into the future, I find myself listening to more
and more sample based music. Like with other music genres I like some of it
more than others. At times I find it un dynamic and sometimes it can be hard
for this kind of music to take me to the next level. However, if it’s done
right it’s pretty easy to get lost in. On “It Is Rain In My Face’s” self titled
release from DZ tapes you get to walk on the better side of a copyright blurred
line.
Guitar, claps, vocals, sequencers, and everything else runs
around on this electronica, folk, computer music, swirl. Data goes in an out of
your ears and everything seems broken but somehow sequential, it sounds like
someone wrote a bunch of songs and then chopped and screwed their own tracks
and then presented what had been screwed as the final project. This music to me
sounds like an audio diary of entries from different places around the globe.
At times you feel a world music influence mixed with some good 80’s vibes. At
other times this feels like Air France mixed with Kings of Convenience, which
when you think about it sounds pretty odd, it’s not. This stuff is really
listenable and good for any hangout session.
My main issue with this tape is how long it is, it feels
like it could be two releases, also it is pretty stiff at times and it feels
more like a grip of singles rather than an album. The tape looks good and sort
of cartoony. It sounds quality and is pro dubbed, totally worth picking up if
you want to relax and bust out a few beers with some buds!
