![Soft Day (Single) [ZLDR06]](http://nofearofpop.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Soft-Day-Single-ZLDR06.jpg)
This one kinda caught me off guard. Irvine, California's Sean Raji aka
Thought Tempo's curiously off-kilter ambient jam
Soft Day needs more than a minute to get started, but then the heavily filtered, slightly early Boards Of Canada-reminiscent synth arpeggios and the loose, supposedly deliberately askew vocal layers over the smooth and trippy beat evolve into a pretty irresistible aural experience. The whole thing gets really extraordinary in combination with the stellar video by
Zoom Lens.
The small, Anaheim-based imprint
Zoom Lens is also responsible for putting out the
Soft Day single, which can be downloaded for free
