Seiho posted this new song, “So Far,” yesterday, and it is definitely worth your time. It is the first track of his in a while not to feature some sort of mutated vocal sample – here, he just lets his electronics warp themselves around into a really colorful beat. Listen below.
OK, now this is more like the House Of Tapes I remember. The Nagoya producer recently released a short EP that found him moving towards more vaporous, beat-removed sounds and it sounded like a welcome diversion from his usual suffocating bang-bang. “Strange Mercury” returns to that, though, and is strong reminder that House Of Tapes…
