InkShips: Cassettes
[via sixdeepbreaths / Hearing Gold]

Chop-and-change analog synths, battling it out with Afro-pop samples and sweet, light-on-the-ear vocals - it sounds ever so slightly like a description of Discovery; Vampire Weekend side-project with occasionally stunning results.  Manchester’s InkShips certainly sounds like he’s building blocks from that kind of aesthetic, only his music carries less RnB debt and more, well…weight. There’s a delightful, substantial pop song sitting firmly in the centre of ‘Cassettes’ and an undeniably gorgeous one at that.
