DOWNLOAD: Gang Colours - No Clear Reason
Though they don't all share the same size and tone, artists like Burial, Mount Kimbie, and James Blake all share similarities in texture and mood—their drums tend to pop and snap, their vocal samples tend to wail and fade, and their keyboards often glow and bathe. Add Gang Colours, a recent signing to British DJ Gilles Peterson's Brownswood Recordings, to that list of trademarks. "No Clear Reason" has elegiac, warbly Rhodes; the daunting, melting R&B vocal sample; and a drum beat that burns while everything above it simmers. If there's anything separating Gang Colours from his predecessors, it's that there's less discord and smoother texture. For more smoothness, check out Brownswood's recent Brownswood Bubblers #6, now available on iTunes. And check back to see more of what Gang Colours does when his EP and full-length LP are released, which should be relatively soon...
