This Is David Mancuso

Assorted/Experimental

African dream pop

Another big year of music for me, though I took more time for silence in 2018. I also started to learn guitar in earnest, though I didn't do any mixing this year. Also glad I have friends with great taste -- a good number of these were recs from them. 

Here are my obsessions from the past year, in order of how much I couldn't stop listening. 

Big ones not on Soundcloud:
Know Me - The Band CAMINO
Brandt Orange - Chaser, Hands
Ladi6 - Royal Blue 
NxWorries - Scared Money

夏にピッタリの爽やかなアフリカを経由したチェンバー・R&B・ポップとも言える大傑作が＜Planet Mu＞より登場！

みずみずしいトロピカルなバンド・サウンド、浮遊感のあるシンセ、ソフトなR&Bボーカル、そこへサウス・アフリカン・ハウス、シャンガーン・エレクトロ、ダブなどのエキゾが溶け込んだ、フレッシュ保証200%のインディ・シンセ・アフリカ from ケープタウン！！

バンドのリーダー/プロデューサーJohn Withersとルワンダ出身のEmmanuel Nzarambaが中核となり、総勢7名のメンバーで構成されるケープタウン拠点のJohn Wizards。既に先行シングルがPitckforkでも話題となっており、フルー・デビューとなる本作はパーカッションとエレクトロニクスによるアフリカ特有の複雑なリズムとエキゾな旋律を基調に、浮遊感のあるニューエイジなシンセ、キラキラとしたトロピカルなギター、チル&Bテイストのソフトなボーカル、ピアノやストリングも交えながらチェンバー・ポップのオーケストレーションやアレンジでまとめ上げ、土着的なアフリカン・ミュージックとシンセ/チェンバー・ポップ、エレクロトロニクスが絶妙の塩梅で融合した唯一無二の傑作へと完成。

Lyrics:
Yellow tinted lenses and a pink gelato 
Fallin out the window hit me back tomorrow 
We'll always been the one Tough act to follow 
Cus we Aiming for the stars with a point and hallow

I'm feeling my songs mocking jokes carols
I started this job selling rocks and arrows
(You know they) only swipe right if fuck for follows 
Welcome to the days of the broke and shallow

But if we just spoke, like we meant it 
Would you reference 
This open part of me

The minute I know , the time we spent in
Came corrected
In my anatomy

matter over mind if we being honest 
But you Wonder though ya thoughts like a broken promise
In it for the monetary growth of power 
But we Divided to the bottom of this whisky sour

So just Leave it on the table if ya hot & bothered 
(And) Tell me if you mean to baby's who's the father 
Stories of a land you divide and conquer 
(You really) showing me the meaning of losing offer ...

But if we (just) spoke, like we meant it 
Would you reference 
This open part of me

(The) minute I know , (the) time we spent in
Came corrected
In my anatomy

Cold War
