Floridian

Oh the melodies! Debuts like this are hard to come by. Lo-fi electronics are paramount in the Wobblyhead camp and this batch of brilliance deftly delivers the remedy for what ails you during those frigid winter months. Simple like Freescha, memorable like Boards of Canada, melodic like Casino Versus Japan, and innocent like no one else. Floridian by Am-boy will stretch out the cerebral cortex and squeeze tiny little audio droplets of electronic bliss all around, remembering childhood in all its wide-eyed wonder. Floridian is an exercise of intentional and poignant simplicity. In a genre where mathematical, process based music is enjoying a bulletproof existence amongst critics, the widespread usage of common software has created a hyper homogenized world of sound-alike product. Returning to the root of melody and basic song structure might be viewed upon as a 'do yourself in' approach to many in these circles, but all of us at Wobblyhead couldn't disagree more. Am-boy leaves the camera out of focus, clicking away at many of life's simple pleasures: childhood, nature, and nostalgia. Sometimes the most compelling moments are found flittering in the in-between. While the balanced geometry of Floridian cycles beyond indifference by uniting the soul with a metaphorical soundtrack of a walk to the beach, you can rest assured that no one is chasing you, the walls aren't closing in, and that the coast is peacefully clear.
