Objekt - cocoon crush

Cheers for posting the teaser track didn't realise that was available. Sounds good to me.

Very very much looking forward, the press release is promising, sure this won't be a second Flatland.

yep this secret snake track is so shpongled i'm considering calling the shpongle bros and letting them know that some obscure "berlin based brit" is stealing their sound. yep, this is damn near sonic plagiarism 

edit: (btw I do have Shpongle's number. do you think I am called Salvatorin for no reason?? shake my damn head)

i enjoy Flatland. some bits more than others but there's some good jams there and nice vibe. makes good listening at work and Strays is a fucking tune!  when the synth choir comes in it's a throwback feel to the 90s late night dance floor moments for me.

^ Strays is my favourite track on that album. followed by Ratchet. I thought Flatland was good, a bit meandering at times but good.

sounds excellent

a little too crafted in my view...literally no rough around the edges at all

the shpongle analogy is annoyingly apt...doesn't stop it from being great mind

^ agreed on all points. his tracks are ridiculously well-crafted but they often have a kind of stiff, overly tidy quality that's slightly frustrating. wasn't a problem in his earlier stuff but as he's started trying to incorporate more abstract, weird elements (stuff that often should sound spontaneous/alive) it's become more noticeable imo. still one of the best producers around though.
 

To me this has similar vibes to (cEvin Key's) Download, when they are being a touch trance-y.

I can't recall any time they are trance-y. What album are you referring to?

I was thinking III, and maybe Effector.  The ones that are more "psychedelic" than dark.

Hmmm, maybe III a little bit. For the record, I disagree, but I'm delighted that Download got a mention around these parts!

Wow I’d quit making music so fast with that process

Åppäöööøåøåååölöååm

My first pocket post on Watmm.

Sound design through the looking glass. Yes.

This one is definitely a different beast than his debut, in a good way.

This got the "RA" recommends mention.

This is well worth all the praise.

Didn't like flatland much but i guess i'll get me this one. Christ i never bought so many albums like this year

Same thing, lots of great music this year ! Will grab this one !

Now patiently waiting for the files to be available via Bandcamp. Secret Snakes has turned to be quite a grower, made me pre-order the whole LP, so I'm actually quite eager to listen to the whole thing.

Music has never been that exciting, right? Convinced that the best is yet to come, quite a privilege to hear all those artists we like getting better at their craft, and to endlessly discover so many new, fresh talents.

it's out

alien sounding album. warrants repeated listens. getting into it.
