New group of the day - not 1 023: Airbird

Ghostly Blisstronica of outer limits of the pop... Airbird

Hometown: New York City.

Range: Joel Ford (music, computers).

Background: Although it was to tape a rave, then simply abandon them when someone arrives. Yes, it would be easy to be picky with the rapid renewal of acts and the flood of MP3 files, we climb sent. But when someone is good, and then, they do something good on the other hand, fully expect we encourage their.

A new group of the day is not for 24 hours, it is for life. Or until they cease to be interesting, how we will move faster that you can say, "Whatever happened to Malakai?". Take Joel Ford. He was in a large group called Tigercity whose sublimate designed retro-MOR we divagues on in 2008. More recently, with Daniel Lopatin of Oneohtrix Point never, one of the Editor's choice of guest Antony Hegarty for the new group of the day, he was one half of the games, which have all changed their name to Ford & Lopatin. It is now operating as Airbird and do the things on the edges of the electronica which are still somehow pop. Its coverage of the Beach Boys' Surfer Girl is a feast of blown and blurred beats, keyboards that sound somewhere between and orgasmic bloating ecstatic. Ectoplasmic? Perhaps: if it appeared that Ernest Greene had dealt with the next (re) issue of smile at some of its Ethereal wash of trade mark, it might sound like this.

It is pop, but don't expect to be popular. First the single Airbird, part of the game, has a contoured, hesitant riff piano one Elton John of Bennie and the Jets, whose Ford whistles a song of afterlife like Tyler, the creator to do an impression of Debbie Harry, on Mogadon. We love the way it disappears fade in and then, back in a way Beatles Abbey Road circa. Really strange and beautiful. This is the music of graph of a pop alternative universe where Toro Y Moi is 1 of 19 weeks. Dania shapes is a minute of locked groove luscious while KONMSTR does never too strange things to success of Luther Vandross 1982. Step so chopped as cut up and covered of clicks and the candy floss. "Body...". "is the only Word left of the runway original, ironic, as most of the"human"has been cleared of music. And then you hear the haze of shimmer irradiated from somewhere in a field and you realize that everything he does, Ford will probably always be a value of our time.

Buzz: "Joel Ford continues to push the envelope with electro as he keeps experimenting with beats and piano, with his voice of overlay airbrush"-brokenheartboy.com.
