The vein of glitch has been feeling a bit tapped out lately- the lode's
proved so plentiful that it's depressed the value of the gilded grit
that increasing numbers of bit-miners bring to market. But damned if
Dabrye, aka Ann Arbor's Tadd Mullinix, hasn't turned up a wheelbarrow
full of bright, shiny nuggets. At first listen, his fuzzy desktop
downtempo will earn comparisons with Mille Plateaux's recent Click-Hop
compilation, but he draws on more varied sources to come up with an
album that owes as much to Moodymann as Oval. "The Lish" wants to be
two-step but doesn't know it (and its saccharine sax is a wonderful
anachronism amidst the sandblasted digitalia). "Truffle No Shuffle"
turns a set of vibes into liquid light, while "I'm Missing You" goes
for a Theo Parrish-style drunken disco wash, a schizo chorus of
sped-up voices and birdcalls flitting about. Beneath every track lie
googly eyed basslines played on rubber Moog. Best of all, Dabrye's
parched digital rhythms sound somehow handmade, fraught with glitches
and unapologetically lazy when it comes to timekeeping. --ghostly.com
