James Figurine • Covers (AKA Dntel)

'Other 99' / 'Holland'

This will round out the week highlighting DNTEL, and james figurine...another 7" I found looking at his back catalog researching the new album. This seven inch entitled 'covers' is exactly that, covers of Big Audio Dynamite and The Untitled, which is a smog side project? I'll have to look into that.

It sounds like this is maybe a slightly different direction from Dumb luck, more minimal, more atmospheric? I hear a lot of that going on in layers in postal service or Dntel.
In anticipation of Dumb Luck I'm all about ordering his side projects like this, from Plug research.

I also have been loving Peter Beste's photos of norwegian death metal. Wow.

This is beautiful, baffling later night music. - Blender

A melodic minimal techno record that's sunny rather than stark, emo(tional) rather than eerie. - Urb
