Mmm. Lovely. Off Kilter, Metafilter.

Sweet! Everyone should check out kimyo's other songs, too, if you haven't yet.

This is one of those songs that could serve as a strong counterexample to the idea that electronic music is cold. It's really different from Juana Molina, but it shares that quality with her stuff. It's warm and squishy and organic. It sounds like osmosis.

I really like the fact that the various elements used in constructing the arrangement seem, for a moment, totally disconnected, but then you realize that they're all syncopating and harmonizing. Great vocals too.

This is really well done. You have a great voice, and more importantly in my opinion, know how to sing pop music.

@umbú: a strong counterexample to the idea that electronic music is cold

I thought Thomas Dolby disproved that way back in '82.

Nice work, btw, kimyo!

Great stuff. Can't hear too many songs from you, kimyo.
