so excited to get Food Pyramid's second unimaginatively titled tape "II" last week. "I" really blew me away and while this tape is a whole different beast it is no less impressive.
gone are acoustic krautrock jams of the first tape replaced by a less organic electronic feel. but the krautrock references remain. imagine the funky workouts from the first tape but with more of a dancefloor electro feel. the lack of vocals, even in this electronic world, heighten the remaining krautrock textures that carry over from the first tape. it's a colder sound world on this tape. the simplistic, repetitive riffing remains while synths float atop. the song titles give us all the insight we need for each song, "cloudscape," "cruisin," "underwater temple exlorations #4," "club trip," borbangnaydr," and the uber appropriate "mind melter" all sound just like they are lovingly titled.
"II" remains just as impressive as "I" if for different reasons. highly recommended. can't wait to hear "III" the final installment of their tape trilogy and their upcoming split 7" both coming out on Moon Glyph. physical copies of this tape are still available at Moon Glyph. also, pick up a copy of the new Daniel Higgs tape while you're there. It's out there, in only a way Dan Higgs can do. listen to "II" here.
