Shackleton - Freezing Opening Thawing

This has grown on me with a few listens but still not feeling it as much as I normaly do with Shackleton. He is still awesome though and am interested where he is going to take his sound next, Hoping for another full-length in the not to distant future

Where can I buy the vinyl?

i'm hearing a lot more of the steve reichian techniques that were used on music for the quiet hour

he's really exploring the african polyrhthms

The sample with the white flower stuff is hilarious.

top notch ep! the artwork is awesome 2

forgive me if you've already looked into the music of the Pygmy, the african tribe which inspired Steve Reich specifically

I think this little ep is great!! Real cool stuff. I mean, it's not quite desert of ice, haha, and for my money he sometimes resolves lead melody phrases in a cheese way, but other than thattt... And I think it's a great way to follow up quiet hour, for a bunch of reasons. I like to imagine going to see him perform live somewhere after hearing MftQH, and walking in the place hearing this would be a real mindfuck. For whatever reason I feel like it would be cool to hear played at an outdoor stage/maybe a festival. And you know, it sounds like the songs are just a few minutes of a much longer jam, which I think is a strong move.

 

...also, shoutout to weird time signatures and polyrythms! dammnnn freaking me out in here

not outdoor, but still massive http://berghain.de/event/928

i've seen shackleton at panorma bar, that was a wicked experience. all the house nerds tried to dance but after 5 min got that their cool moves somehow dont work. than the dancefloor cleared

but seeing him downstairs will be something completly different... couragous to let him play with all the residents, wonder, if he will try to adapt a bit

I'm still enjoying this. I kind of wish the first two tracks had the deep bass drums that silver keys has, though.

amazing! thanks for the heads up

this sounds great. still playing the drawbar organ ep's lots too

i always found his name misleading. to me shackleton sounds like some grime/dubstep gangsta kinda name

it's his name. Sam Shackleton.
