Autoflag & Adventsong - Crash Brackets
Released: April 12 This newest album by Autoflag & Adventsong is a bit of a lo-fi funhouse to me. The weird and awkward melodies with the madcap percussion and occasional vocal sample keep things interesting and rather upbeat most of the time. It's hard to parse out everything that is going on in this album, specifically because its quite a lot. The very first song on the album, "Cerulean Blue is a Gentle Breeze," starts things off a little deceptively with a slow moving sample that contains musical tines and some more ambient noise. But then there's a vocal sample saying "get this show on the road" and then things get weirder and wilder as a heavily distorted lo-fi bass riffs comes in and is soon joined by a beat that feels faintly drum and bass inspired but hard to put your finger on. All the fun and fuzzy sounds come together atop this surprisingly dry kit, which honestly counterbalances the lo-fi grit of everything else quite well. The whole album
