Software-related news towards the end of a week that has already brought us brilliant new material by label founder Joel Ford's
Airbird and freshman
Napolian. This time it's New York-based experimental project
Megafortress, whose self-titled debut will be out on January 31, too. The man behind Megafortress is Bill Gillim aka one half of
Tigercity (alongside Ford). "Green Child" is a contemplative and slow-burning, crystal-clear track that has nothing to do with the deranged proto-disco shredder of his peers
Ford & Lopatin or, for that matter,
Airbird. Instead, Gillim's stunning, layered falsetto vocals over sampled chimes and other elements that come close to actual
musique concrète keep sending shivers of pure bliss down my spine.
Pre-order
Megafortress now
