Plaid’s scintilli

[mitjalovse]

Warp Records consists of many intriguing electronic musicians, because the label's predominantly interested in these styles. Of course, calling the brand an instigator of the IDM might sound funny, though a lot of the practitioners of the idiom end up there. Plaid are another of those, though they seem to be more of the pop version of the acronym. Mind you, I'm not suggesting they're the Oasis of the Warp Records, if you catch my drift, they merely go into a multitude of directions, yet they always make sure their music remains on the lighter side of the IDM. The latter's should also not be seen as a backhanded compliment, you could read this as them being the gateway into the tough electronic music in the vein of Autechre.

Plaid / Missing

[thenyouthinkagain]

Creepy voices in the background, eery yet exhilarating and with a wonderful build-up, as is to be expected from Plaid. Nothing spectacular, but in the right mood, this can turn into a temporary "repeat" obsession, to then end up as and remain a good running/cycling (or other fast-paced method of transport) companion.

Artist: Plaid; Song: Unbank; Album: Scintilli; Year: 2011
