Mellow Monday 7 : Review : Gabriel Stark - Glow In The Stark
So I'm looking around at the blog here, its about 21 days into the month of August, we've had six posts. At this point during the last few months you would have almost twenty posts to not read. So I will do my best to write the posts early this week, I've got till Wednesday planned, so you can thank me later. For now just scroll down the page and get ready for some amazing hip hop.
So you all know I have a bit of a week spot for glitchy electro, those of you that know me well know that I have a special place in my heart for Pretty Lights. There's just something about the blend of futuristic glitch hop and retro samples that allow me to float over whatever has me down. I hadn't even considered the fact that every song by Pretty Lights is a rap song waiting to happen, and then it happened. Gabriel Stark, you sir have put yourself in a very precarious position, you've taken some of the best music to wobble around inside my skull and plastered your voice all over it. If you shit on these tracks you're on the list, if you do this the right way you'll make it into my mixes for a very long time. Its a good thing I lost that list, cause Gabriel Stark you're my new hero.
For those of you that don't know the album title is not only a witty joke but there was once upon a time a Pretty Lights album called Glowing In The Darkest Night, just a guess but I think that had something to do with the choice. So, into the actual music, obviously the beats are top notch, we've been through that already. Although relatively unknown Starky lays it down smooth, and does just enough damage to the original tracks to make it his own sound. All in all this five track album is must download, so hit that link above and if you're interested in hearing more Pretty Lights head on over to his website and grab all of the albums for free, that's more music than you can cram into that little head of yours, enjoy.
