Perception

Spell Hound - CLARITY

Spell Hound-Perception

It’s been a few months now since I was first consumed whole by the caliginous and enchanting sounds of Kansas City electronic duo Spell Hound and even now, I can’t listen to them without feeling a sense of eeriness overshadowing me.  The duo is a part of a growing collective/net label by the name of AURAL SECTS that’s constantly delivering a wide array of various forms of electronic music and just like Spell Hound, I find myself coming back to them time and time again. A few days ago the duo dropped a mystifying new track titled “Perception”, the first single from their upcoming album CLARITY, and it’s been receiving plenty of heavy rotation. Even with it’s haunting and bleak atmosphere, the track still possess a glimmer of beauty that’s carried from start to finish, which ends up giving it a perfect balance and making me entranced throughout it’s entirety as well. I’m definitely looking forward to hearing even more from CLARITY and if you want to check out more from Spell Hound then head over to soundcloud and stop by bandcamp to grab their debut EP for free. Recommended for fans of Crystal Castles, Balam Acab, and CRIM3S.

BEHIND THE TRACKS: TAQUWAMI

For my second behind the tracks feature of the month I decided to get in contact with a long time favorite producer of mine, Tokyo’s own Taquwami. My ears have been filled with quality dreamy pop magic ever since I heard his single “With You” and take it from me, you certainly don’t want to miss out on anything coming from this guy. He’s recently signed to the brand new label Void Youth and as of last week dropped his first EP Blurrywonder so this post couldn’t have happened at a better time. I’ve got to give him a huge thank you for helping me with this all the way from Japan and he couldn’t have been any nicer. So sit back and get to know the person behind Taquwami a little better.
