                Having seen the film 'Gigante' by Adrián Biniez, I was immediately struck by a few key moments during the soundtrack and then I found out Daniel Yafalian was behind the best parts.  

                     This album is immensely lush and living as the soundscape goes from soothing experimental drone to forrest sound orchestra.  The ambience expresses so many different moods in a powerful storm of electroacoustic resonance coupled with dynamic dissonance and delivers as well as Brian Eno at his best.  Getting lost in the trance will increase the visualizations of the glory of sonic arrangements and the paradise which is present inside this work of immaculately structured tracks.

Echo Optons - 2015- Review

Layman's Worms by Vanilla Lord

[Layman's Worms by Vanilla Lord]

1.  Worm Game

2.  The Tube (Cha-Chee-Cho)

3.  Mechanical Demands

4.  E_Rectangles 

5.  Zillion Weevils

6.  Heartworm (Returning)

                     The Philadelphia based musician known as Vanilla Lord is Mac Kennedy who leads the way with brilliantly syncopated vocal melodies and synthesizer harmonies.  Accompanied by three other fantastic musicians, they perform as professionally as they sound on their bandcamp page.  

                    This album specifically resonates to people who appreciate blissful up-tempo pop music mixed with indie synth rock.  You could possibly hear comparable qualities to bands like Islands, or Blitzen Trapper mixed with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti, perhaps even Arcade Fire.
