From Discotheque records comes a little cassette from Kenneth John Gilmore, or I guess you could say a cassingle(or whatever witty word folks have come up with to describe 2 song'd tapes).
To give a little background, Gilmore is currently a member of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, adding in some guitar and keys for live shows, and contributing heavily to Ariel's new live sound.
The first track "Anina" is a gorgeous track of bouncy bass and guitar, conjuring up equal parts early Underwater Peoples releases and Brian Wilson. The real stride here is in it's production on reel to reel tape. Warm analog fuzz, but not quite the overly fuzzed sound of White Fence or Woods. It's a nice mixture of sunny southern california vibes, and simple beautifully recorded pop music.
The second track "Thick Leaves" while much less poppy than Anina, is a track that'll put you into a moody groove, full of beeps, eery piano lines, and an 80's sounding drum machine. A perfect contrast to the simple beauty of the A-side.
