2012, Friends of Friends
VINYL FORMAT. On the heels of his critically acclaimed debut full-length Bad Vibes, Shlohmo embarks deeper into darker realms on his latest venture. Self-described as "night time backyard noises", Vacation builds on the aesthetic Shlohmo established with mixes for FACT and FADER, in which broken cassette tapes and warped found sounds melded into melodic beats packed with veiled emotion and latent mystery.
From "The Way U Do" verges on R&B pop, to the enigmatic "wen uuu", which simultaneously pulls at the heartstrings with a quavering vocal sample while churning forward in a passionate, indisputable groove, and the pastoral "Rained the Whole Time", which takes cues from the ubiquitous Burial, this is a poignant set of originals. A stellar cast of remixers: Nicholas Jaar, Teebs, Airhead, Salva and Groundislava, contribute to take Vacation to the next level.
