Andre Obin at SxSW(ish)

The IT Dept. is getting frisky for SxSW. I am putting together a nice list of artists for the electronic music fans at the Hall and this artist vaulted to the head of my list with this track.

André Obin has this gem called “The Arsonist” which will be on his debut album The Arsonist due on Sky Council. Sweeping synth, low and lower basslines, just enough special sauce to glue it all together with a perfectly restrained vocal. Then the drums.

Listings don’t show it yet, but he will be here 3/14 at Casa Chapala, unofficial day party methinks. He won an “Electronic Performer of the Year” award in his hometown of Boston so I hope it will not be a laptop on a card table. Staying tuned.
