Shipwrek - "Journal"
Tim - ask and you shall recieve. No, but seriously this album is awesome and I've been meaning to post it anyways. I think I played it four times in a row in it's entirety the first time I heard it. Couldn't find too much online about this guy, but he's an electronic music producer from the San Francisco area. Big ups again to my girl/friend Lila for introducing me to his album.
Really nice blend of sounds here. He is obviously influenced by the typical "whomp" sound of San Francisco/west coast but doesn't let it permeate his work entirely. Rather his sound can be categorized as a really enjoyable mix of acoustic and electronic sounds. Bass heavy, rattling synth lines fade away into mellow, ambient acoustic guitar/melodic passages. The opening track "Speakeasy" is pretty much a bumpin, epic banger but from there the album goes in many directions. Sounds equally as good coming from headphones as it does bumping out of giant speakers.
Don't sleep on this.
