Dreamy, outsider house. Maya Bouldry-Morrison is a trans house producer out of New York producing some brilliant shit! She makes atmospheric house tracks that are augmented by some interesting breakbeats and intriguing percussion throughout. An “overtly queer” record according to Octo Octa herself, the song titles and atmosphere convey her challenging years coming out and transitioning. While often thoughtful and somber, it’s all gorgeously arranged and wonderfully hypnotic. I cannot recommend it highly enough! Genre: Straight up house! Dreamier at times, breakbeat-y at times RIYL: Anthony Naples, Terre Thaemlitz, Jack J, Moiré Favorite Tracks: 1, 2, 3, 5 FCCs: Nope Where Are We Going?, Pt. 1 (7:31) * - Long, chill intro, atmospheric house, brilliantly cozy, floating piano, even the bass is barely there On Your Lips (6:09) ** - More solidly grounded groove, light percussion with steady bass, low warped singing drifts throughout Fleeting Moments of Freedom (Wooo) (6:24) * - Cool scratching! Dancy track with scratching throughout to keep you on your toes Until the Moon Sets (5:03) - So strong, dreamier than previous too tracks, distant keys, still a strong sense of rhythm No More Pain (Promises to a Younger Self) (2:36) ** - Slower, dreamier intro, then some sweet breakbeats, looped soul in background Move On (Let Go) [De-stress Mix] (5:11) - also more breakbeat heavy, some cool looped hiphop vocal samples Preparation Rituals (7:55) - really upbeat, more of the same Adrift (8:47) - much darker, brooding, almost techno track, syncopated bass Where Are We Going?, Pt. 2 - dreamy intro blends into keys and long build, dancy beat beneath playful, dreamy keys | ||
