Delicate Features “Kiss By The Sea”

08 Sep 2014 — Henry Schiller

The whimper of a Space Ghost transforms into the subtle deluge of seaside IDM. Synthetic tones jitter nervously between caterwauling vocalizations; mouth sounds which Delicate Features seem to slug softly, aimlessly and with the pensive force of a little league pitcher. Delicate Features hail from St. Petersburg but the electronica team's mnusic now comes to us via Los Angeles. This unusual combination of locales is very apparent on "Kiss By The Sea". Euro-sharp synthesizers dart out of mesmerizing could-be samples of a California coastline; “Kiss By The Sea” is a blithe, brilliant marriage of the former’s fragmented chilliness and the latter’s oceanic chillness.
