2012, Not Not Fun

VINYL FORMAT. Sometimes it feels so simple: two of our favorite people in one of our favorite bands release one of our favorite records of all time. Imaginary Falcons was its own genius slushpile of tape-hissy drift-dub haze anthems, no question, but 936 takes every facet of the Peaking Lights mighty diamond and shines it to fluorescent perfection. The songwriting is insane; "All The Sun That Shines," "Amazing & Wonderful," "Tiger Eyes (Laid Back)," all seep into your mindstream and float there like melodic gold dust. Indra Dunis' silky soul-jazz keys and tranced vocals have never sounded so exquisite, and Aaron Coyes busts out the best bass/drum loops and sneaky dub guitar of his musical lifetime. 936 retains the cool crate-digger grit of Peaking Lights, but within a much more vivid spectrum of sound.
