Tendencies - Waterbed

SOLD OUT

Brandon Smith's Tendencies project shines through a lot of 2015's Vaporwave overload with some of the heaviest and most heart-pounding grooves I've heard in the Future Funk sub-genre. The music is beautifully trapped between poles: hi-fidelity disco shimmer and YouTube digital grit, 70s and 80s material Product placement excess and early 21st century intangible commodity explosions, side-chained sample madness against a clear and distinct producer and songwriter's ear.
