Sad City, “Jaya” MP3

September 22, 2011


The groove on this seems entirely one way, at first, like something endlessly pretty, sure, but also settled. Then, at about the one minute mark, Sad City introduces a beat and it becomes something else completely. Sad City is a dude from Scotland who's putting out music on Underwater Peoples, and you might originally think, because of the twirling clarinet, that this song has a lot in common with label-mate Julian Lynch. But that beat sets it apart. It's as if he starts the song hanging out in an old black and white movie and all of a sudden everything's in color. (via Altered Zones)
