Fill your ears with this, in preparation for what is to come this weekend:
The Parish of Little Clifton - Your Smile Unfolds
Simon Bridgefoot makes dancy electronic jams as The Parish of Little Clifton. It’s no wonder he is a part of the amazing and mostly Canadian family, Cultus Vibes. I’m so happy to be able to give you the first listen at his brand new single, Your Smile Unfolds.This is the first single from his new collection of music soon to be heard on Cultus Vibes.
Keeping the beat driving hard, Simon gathers samples from a wide variety of sources, pulling them and crafting them into the perfectly contemplative and danceable banger you hear above. Keep an eye out for more tunes to follow here on Cultus Vibes. Watch the video below and hear all about Simon’s transition from more acoustic folk-based music, to the electronic soundscapes he’s creating here.
Agor - Train
Once again, greatness springs forth from the unending wealth of talent collected at Montreal based label Arbutus Records. Alex Cowan is very literally a part of the Arbutus family, and also one half of the amazing Blue Hawaii.
With Agor, we see Alex’s solo efforts, and the results are just as unique and satisfying as you could hope for. The EP is a result of his time spent in Berlin. And as a new city does, it sparks exploration, a thirst for experience. Here’s what the label has to say about it:
“The resulting collection of tracks are a childlike exploration, carrying simple melodies and bell like sounds at walking tempos. For an electronic record, it remains coloured and personal.”
Head over to Arbutus and download the self-titled EP, either for FREE or a donation of your choice.
Psychic Twin - Gonna Get Her
Some of my favorite label buds around, Lefse Records, just announced their inaugural 7” series. Starting in just a month, and spanning the course of several months, Lefse will release limited edition 7”s of some of their greatest and newest artists.
The first 7” to kick of the series is the gem above by Psychic Twin with b-side Deepest Part. Like some kind of mysterious dream from the 80’s, those vocals hypnotize, while that beat keeps your body moving. You can pre-order the single individually or go ahead and sign up to receive all six releases as they are made available.
Other releases include singles from Mister Lies, Field Mouse, Sun Glitters, Big Search, and Matthew Cooper of Eluvium.
PORTALS May mixtape is here. And look at that album art!!! Compliments of Laurent Hrybyk.
