If you have been paying attention to ADVANCED then you know I love oFF and GR†LLGR†LL's solo work and their recent collaborations have been excellent. Broken, ambient R&B that is lovely, sad and haunting. oFF was kind enough to send me this new track of theirs. Which is more abstact than their last few songs but still gorgeous and leaves you wishing it were longer. Listen close to the layers of voices filtered through a haze of screwed-down auto-tune. Their lonely, forlorn sound speaks directly to my mood of late, but I think it touches something universal in human experience so it connects no matter how you feel. Listen and download. Enjoy the sadness.
I apparently slept on this release from oFF Disenchanted Fairytale which showcases a cleaner, lighter sound. Looping pianos and echoing voices build on each of the short tracks into a a polyphony of heartbreak. oFF is not messing with any light emotions. The tracks all end too soon as always, which is both a complaint and a compliment. I generally will just listen to some songs on repeat. Once he gets me in the mood I want to stay in the solace of oFF's sound.
Also, here's a lovely video of "Let U Know" which is a track from the outstanding Secret. This appears to be footage of some old boy band...appropriate for the kind of over-the-top feelings in the song.
My favorite is the Let you know video, that shit I could listen to for hours.
