Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom - Relevee
"Days of Mars", Gonzalez and Russom's Octoberly issued full-length is going to feature 'Relevee' as its third track, which is a little surprising, at least to me, since it was first released on the "They Keep Me Smiling" compilation (which I realize I just culled a tune from yesterday; hell, at least I'm consistent) almost 2 years ago. Maybe the LP edition of 'Relevee' is extended or remixed- even if it's not though, Gonzalez and Russom have mentioned that they're preparing a visual accompaniment for the track, which is exciting news indeed (remember: these are the people responsible for Black Leotard Front and the insane 'Casual Friday' single, anything that comes from them is bound to be interesting).
'Relevee' evokes nothing so much as the artificially blue and red neon landscapes seen in the movie Tron. It has the same claustrophobic and smooth feel to it- the synths all undulating and rubbing slightly against each other, creating a kind of heatless friction. Gonzalez and Russom are able to make music that lends itself very easily to pleasant visualizations, i.e. much like Boards of Canada, falling asleep to a D&G track is a nice way to start your dreams. Their music is just ruthlessly pretty.
Although they don't have a website up yet, D&G have a little section on the DFA messageboard devoted to their efforts right here, with links to a bunch of pictures and a short clip of them playing 'Relevee'. So you can check that out, if you're curious. [BUY]
