Manatee Commune Drop Faulted Single
When I was a young teen in the mid90s we used to hit up raves and dance clubs, just wilding away into the night, driven by thundering beats and house music. But, we balanced that with equal doses of rock and hip hop and country, and eventually I went full punk/emo kid. It wasn’t until Postal Service popped up in early 00s that I was reminded of how joyous electronic music can be. And while I’ve digressed, that’s the exact sentiment I get from this new Manatee Commune tune. It’s vocal free, but there’s definitely a great bit of movement, and certainly enough to make you move out of your chair. I love how the tune pulls back to offer up little glimmers of dreaminess, tugs it back, then lets the beat bound down through the speaker tubes. It’s light and fun, and definitely makes me wish I was carefree enough to break out the glow-sticks and play with that invisible ball I carried around on the dance floor. If you’re totally into this, there’s a new LP coming out in July via Bastard Jazz.
