Right to the City cover

Right to the City

Released

The cover of this ode to the richness of cities has a Where’s Waldo? vibe while the music feels like a descendant of the eccojam tendency to futz with the building blocks of reality in the sound plane. I may be a sucker for sounds that go zworp like someone has inserted a handle into it and turned quickly, and this has lots of those moments, where the second half of a back and forth exchange crystallizes and leaps. Also some truly surprising and weird vocal interjections here that freak me out every time, which also may not even be vocals!
