Bleep

Some see it as a high-concept response to the disposable age of information; others see it as a gummy hyper-real universe marking a new dawn of electronica. Whatever their stance, all purveyors of contemporary music culture have an opinion on the PC Music camp. Now the London-based net-label / collective step forward with their first compilation of original material. Whatever your take it can’t be denied that in an age of constant stylistic regurgitation, the giddy PC Music gang are advancing a truly unique musical direction; for instance the angelic vocal-laced pointillism of Hannah Diamond’s ‘Every Night’ or the candy-coated trance of A.G Cook’s ‘Beautiful’, which both eschew every taste convention to the point of actually being pretty catchy. From the frantic vocal pitch shifting on GFOTY’s ‘USA’ to the ultra-cute polyphonic production on Keri Baby by Hannah Diamond and to The Lipgloss Twins, it is a sound like no other. Neatly packed into 30 minutes of sugary action, this is the perfect reintroduction to PC’s glossy realm.
