Comment: the
00s has certainly been a great decade in discovering new music.
Devendra Banhart, Animal Collective, The Caretaker, Cagey House,
slept., Serena Maneesh, Eureka Brown, Tim Hecker, and of course Ariel
Pink, the amazing maverick whose music had denied classification both
in terms of styles/genres and musical epochs. Honestly, I do not like
very much what Ariel Pink would have been doing in the 10s but he is
still one of the most enchanting creative forces within the indie
scene. But I adore Orphan Stamp's self-titled outing which reflects
upon the early period of Ariel Pink though adding a special,
idiosyncratic touch to the whole. And 11-notch release is an instance
of contradictory impulses at the first glance where faint, and even
introverted lo-fi dodges are variegated with highly expressive and
hovering glo-fi/hypnagogic pop appearances. Secondly, the whole
consists of austere yet highly catchy compositions (for instance, the
magnificent
River) being juxtaposed to more more chord
involving extraterrestrial space pop songs. Truly cloudless
developments are represented over there which unfortunately cannot
otherwise be met in natural state of a human being's life. In other
words, misty, even murky corners are eventually lighted up with
highly intense sunbeams as if spending your time in the middle of a
forest island filled in with natural play of glistening rays and
grayish shades. Behind the project is Karl Frank who had previously released under his own name and under a Swedish imprint, redstarcommunity. Purely golden gem.
