Hear The Track Here
23 year old Nick Laroche is Canadian and a new name to me, and I suspect, Soundclick too. Even so there are already lots of tracks on his page, many with intriguing comments about Arabic influences and this track which promises a mix of electronica and dub. All of which pleases me because it fits with my own particular musical palate, but - as always - there is a large distance between the words and the actual music living up to those brave and maybe foolhardy terms. Moreso because I have spent many years producing such genre-bending tracks and it's always nice to see someone else as foolhardy as me....Reckless. Insane. All good descriptors....
The truth is that A Synopsis is much more electronic than anything the blurb led me to believe, although that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Not so much dub as some neat effects being deployed and lotsa stuff whizzing between your earholes, which makes for a decnt listen whether you like the style or not. Credit where credit is due, Laroche delivers a very clean, clear sound all the better to display his wares.
A Synopsis is a very good electronica blend that grows better with each listen, although it doesn't do anything that unusual or astounding - and why should it? Coming in at a whisker over three minutes, this is an eminently digestable peice of electronica. Just a couple of points though, as good and clear the mix was, after a few plays I started to notice a flatness about the track which suggests its a pleasant, interesting listen but the taste probably wouldn't last. Damn fine introduction to this artist though IMHO...
Excellent electronic blend. Highly Recommended for the genre.
