“Futures” - RxGibbs

I present to you further proof that I am living in the wrong part of Michigan, because these incredible artists that share my state don’t seem to be anywhere near me. Ron Gibbs creates pieces of cool, phantasmal ambiance that are full and flowing, with a firm grip but a gentle touch (read as: these songs makes sweet love to your ears). The synth that courses through each track - whether over top of or underneath the percussive elements - is the primary force behind this, giving each track a feeling of consistency and connectivity that last throughout the Futures EP. I should also mention that the infusion of ephemeral female vocals throughout is just flawless. I can’t thank Cascine, who are releasing the EP digitally on February 21st, enough for catching my transient ears long enough to heed this. [link]
