Easychord - Not In My Family Tree
Someone out there is clearly pining for a Tangerine Dream cover album. Otherwise I can’t see a reason for easychord to exist.
This is less a lesson in ambient soundscaping - it’s much more like a ambient whitewash. It’ll come out in the rain. The fields of noise do seem to have a pleasent “washing,” quality, you know, like the trusty slush of a white good procured from Powerhouse.
There’s a tendancy to use biaural beats to produce a mesmerising effect. While listening to this album you may find yourself staring out the window but not really seeing anything. This album is made to because the “artist” wants you to stare out the window, but so you can look at them staring out the window; “I can’t fathom the depths of that guy’s thoughts right now” is what you’re meant to think. In reality you’ll move away to a less malordourus part of the bus.
This album is a puddle of music made by someone stoned, who likes being stoned and would like other people to indulge their vain desire to be considered an “artist”.
Hippies will probably like it. But frankly, there’s few things more cultural redundant than someone who self identifies as a “hippy”.
DISAGREE? ARE YOU SOME SORT OF FUCKING HIPPY? OFF YOU GO THEN.
