Japancakes
"Belmondo"
(Darla Bliss Out v. 19)

Yet another exciting aural piece of spacey fuzz and hum from the folks at Darla and their Bliss Out series. It really is a wonder where they find the energy and money to put out so many records. Kindercore's own Japancakes provide the soundtrack to a weekends worth of hallucinogens this time, layering subtle feedback onto keyboard textures and synth sput. Strings poke their heads up to create a more dynamic and interesting record than one would guess at first glance. Sort of like space rock meets chamber music in the basement of an Athens, GA recording studio. 'Theme for a Film' could be just that, or a nice song to listen to during a romantic meal if you're not fond of classical. A record seemingly designed just for sitting around and relaxing, but most certainly not for driving at night.
