https://smarturl.it/FLOORBABA-PREHISTORY

New spaces are constantly being carved between genres and with influences as diverse as Mr. Bungle, Meshuggah, Wendy Carlos, Steve Vai, Roy Ayers, and soundtracks to games such as EarthBound and Chrono Trigger, it's fair to say that FLOOR BABA commands a unique space.

What began as an outlet for unreleased soundtrack work quickly found a home in the excitement of mid-2010's SoundCloud culture. Since then, FLOOR BABA has continued to craft a unique combination of retro sounds and today's emergent electronic stylings. Through FLOOR BABA what's old and what's new dance in a personal exploration.

Dear Friend,

Salutations, chap. It has been a quite a cold series these days and weeks. There has been ice-a-plenty, and the freezeful winds whisper sweet-nothings, such as "you're not about this life, pal. go back inside"

I sit in my chamber writing this to you, lamp lit. I'm grateful for this warmth... I'm not talking about the lamp. Deep in the monochrome solitude of my manor, my heart burns... in the romantic way. And it is all caused by the heat of this new and outstanding album, 'new time romantic', by crazygoji.

As a fellow romantic, it would be in your best interest to listen to this album. Its pleasant goofs and lovable romps has evoked feelings within myself that I haven't felt since I have been acquainted with you. Do you remember that windy April day where we laid outside on the hills eating watermelon? Somehow, I was reminded of this memory while listening to the album opener, 'watermelon good times', my heart and body immediately put into a trance.

crazygoji doesn't hold back this expression of romance. The subaqueousness of 'operators anonymous' brought me back to times in Costa Rica, where we joyously swam with the mysterious dolphins. 'major simpleton' immersed me back into the tranquil times at my humble manor with you, watching The Simpsons in the newly installed IMAX theatre. 'max goof' and 'spotless' took me back to the clubs in Ibiza, where Jodie Foster herself (I'm quite sure it was her... although she seemed a bit tall... hm...) complimented our romanticful dance moves. Does this excite you? I am confident you are making that face you always made when you got excited. I'm chuckling just imagining it... it kind of looked like this emote: (⓿_⓿)

But I digress.

'times new romantic' perfectly captures the halcyon days of our very romantic relationship together. After we separated I became cold and bitter, like the dry air of winter. However, this music has reinvigorated my capacity to love. I feel jubilant. I feel vivacious. Goofy. Romantical.

As you listen to these sounds, I believe it's power will lift your spirits as well, it's sheer groove and jovial atmosphere will have you embracing the love of the Earth itself. Believe me! I have hugged the floor a few times during my listening of this album, which is quite odd... I'm not sure how it made me do all that.

As I finish writing this letter, I hope that you are well. These new times are uncertain. But I am sure you will prosper... romantically.

Sincerely yours,

Archibald Buttsqueak


"Oh good heavens... 'bubbly brain' has, without a doubt, turned my brain into bubbles!"
— Archibald Buttsqueak, hugging the floor

"This album is really nice. I just could not stop dancing. 'seven deez' had me doing the worm! Made me remember the time I complimented that sick dancing couple in Ibiza."
— Jodie Foster (I'm like 65% sure. She looks just like her, though...)

"I was glad a friend of mine recommended this album to me. I haven't heard from him in years but I was really surprised to get a letter yesterday. Not really sure how he's doing though... he couldn't stop talking about 'times new romantic' and hugging floors... he's probably OK."
— Zoogarg the Alien
