[WeAreOceans]

Heading down hard on the grime/jungle sound.

[Salvatorin]

fucking christ it's like EVERY ARTIST I love is releasing stuff at the same time!!!!!

 

Listened to the first track and I'm sold.

[Salvatorin]

upon further listens this is really interesting stuff. I lost interest in them once they started to go more acoustic. But I like this direction.

Raime - We Live In A Society

I quite like the last two releases, not sure about this one after one listen... yeh the titles are too on the nose. Is this meant to be ironically on the nose?

[Soloman Tump]

Dat press release tho

 

 

After years of drilling their message home thru belligerent repetition, the crucial London duo here go fractiously febrile, ephemeral and non-linear, probing a certain sort of feminine pressure across four tracks drawing as much from grime, post-punk and jungle as afrobeats R&B and dembow rhythms

 

But what does it mean?

 

If anything is described as "crucial" it invariably isn't

[usagi]

ugh.

 

fractiously masturbationary.

[hello spiral]

'probing a certain sort of feminine pressure'

Raime - Daddy's Ephemeral Cummies

 

They put together a tidy little mixtape last year as well

 

[beerwolf]

I'll never get on with these press releases (at least this one is not a 1000 word essay) , I always thought it was pretty cool to individually translate instrumental music for yourself. Paint your own pictures and landscapes. 

 

Anyway I thought was this EP was a neat listen.

Good airy content indeed.

[Ivan Ooze]

this seriously bangs

[WeAreOceans]

Nice little EP came out a couple of weeks ago

Am I Using Bad Content Or Genius Content?

[goDel]

not sure if very bad or genius

 

ima take a pick: the first.

 

love me some raime, but this. this is milking it. milking pushing buttons. imo.

 

not my cuppa. listening to the other stuff on the label it becomes satire pretty soon.

I mean at least it’s certainly something... divisive...? This in itself, an achievement.

 

So far they’ve changed styles quite a bit between releases. And here they’re somehow questioning, exposing, playing with, samples. I mean SAMPLES!! they sure have samples. And a keyboard, and yes, likely the samples are pushed with buttons. Are they good samples? Are they bad samples? Is there a deeper context? The parameters which were handed to them - are boundaries being pushed? These and other questions, we may or may not find answers to them by listening to this music, or not.

Why so touchy?
