This is the first full album from British production team Until The Ribbon Breaks. It is getting a ton of hype on things like Pitchfork, but it is a genuinely good record. RIYL: Disclosure, Sam Smith etc.
FCC Track 5: Shit
Recommended Tracks: 3, 4, 6, **7**
1. (1:10) The Other Ones - Intro, piano and vocals only.
2. (4:14) Orca - Down tempo, really cool samples, "orca, there's nothing quite as black and white as you."
3. (3:02) A Taste Of Silver - Mid tempo, more funky, I really like this one. Think early Cee-Lo Green.
4. (4:19) Romeo - Back to the very electronic feel, I really like this one too, kind of mid tempo, cool lyrics.
5. (3:21) FCC:SHIT - Perspective Feat. Homeboy Sandman - I really like this one buy you can't play it…possibly worth editing some day.
6. (3:30) Spark - This is very disclosure-y. Great if you love Latch, which I do.
7. (3:09) Revolution Indifference Feat. Run The Jewels - This is the best track on the album hands down. But that is probably because I am addicted to all things RTJ :) But seriously this song is awesome.
8. (3:34) Persia - This one has a really cool vibe.
9. (4:09) Pressure - This one hits a little harder, fun to dance to.
10. (4:20) Goldfish - Downtempo, another Disclosure-esq track.
11. (4:27) Until The Ribbon Breaks - I really like this one too, cool and mellow to end the album.
