Lush West coast soul pop from the sunny minstrel
Nobody for Ubiquity with the Dive EP, but what y'all
need to be checking is the killer Flylo remix nestled
on the B-side.
Nobody's Blankblue project is a collaboration with
colleague Niki Randa from the indie record store they
both work at in Long Beach, CA. The project is based
on the idea of an Armageddon initiated by a massive
earthquake off the wets coast of USA set sometime
in the future, and the only survivors are able to live
and breathe in poisoned waters, to paraphrase an
incredibly convoluted and surreal tale from the mind
of Nobody's Elvin Estela. The music itself is a swirling
current of downbeat west coast hiphop psychedelia in
the fine tradition of Nobody's previous outings and is
definitely worth a check for the flower power leftovers
out there.
For all the here-and-now crew, you have to check the
amazing Flying Lotus remix, as the beat machine
manages to morph Nobody's lush composition into dense
layers of unravelled breaks and electrnic gurgles sounding
uncannily like seagulls or possibly psychotropic induced
fish farts, i'm not sure which. The most useful track here is
probably the instrumental Flylo version, which drops Randa's
slightly cloying vocals and allows the full majesty of this
special beat to really take form.
