We, The Obsolete
Quiet for a couple of years, Ewan Fisher of London has shot back with another helping of twisted, euphoric electronica. We, The Obsolete opens with tumbling antique synthesizers that will straighten out the whiskers of any Boards of Canada fans, clicking, cracking and bursting to life with whirling keyboards, anthemic bass and vocodered sweet nothings. Remixes include Fisher’s own Singularity Edit, which stretches the intro and slows the drop down so it hits you like alcohol, and an interpretation by Black Ph03nix where live drums and budget synths make the tune feel like a Van Halen number. Technology elitists, please take a pew: here’s proof you can make magic on hardware as commonly available as a calculator or musical greetings card.
