SHOEBOX 003EP
|
Shoebox mostly bide their time, inhabiting the shadowy space at the back of the cupboard alongside out-of-date cans of food, forgotten records, and misguided charity-shop purchases. Electric Blue is their third hand-stamped record, and their first since 2013. It's as dusty, fuzzy, musty, and intoxicating as their previous outings, shuffling between enveloping dancefloor voodoo and otherworldly downtempo beats. Unlikely doses of off-kilter drum-machine soul for horizontal joggers, wayward dancers, and armchair ravers, created during sporadic Sunday-night sessions spent hammering away on a well-worn MPC, mostly from beats, samples, and melodies rediscovered in shoeboxes piled high with vintage zip disks.
