RIYL: murky experimental-pop, childhood, and Animal Collective

Blind Man's Colour - Season's Dreaming

blowing minds on Kanine records (2009)

Blind Man's Colour are Kyle Orhan and Ben Ashton, two best-friends from St. Petersburg, Florida who've been making music together since they can remember. The duo wears their obvious Animal Collective worship on their sleeves, and they even covered some AC songs and posted them for free download on their blog. But if Animal Collective embodies what lies ahead for music, the lo-fi murkiness of Season's Dreaming feels more like some long-lost field recording from the past. The album's nostalgic songs are awash in a dreamy haze of found-sound samples, reverbed melodies, and enveloping electronic noise. It works.
