MP3: Pluxus - Bootstrap
The thing I like most about Pluxus is their playfulness. The video for "Kinotin" captures that joy in a perfect visual accompaniment - too bad I'm not really feeling the track. Too many starts and stops interrupt the flow and my attention is lost. "Bootstrap" however sticks with a solid 4/4 stomp that will keep your head bobbing. Those squeaky synth hits sound like something you'd get from squeezing a tube of toothpaste rather that pressing down a key. The rest of "Solid state" is just as hot too. I love my introspective drone, but sometimes you gotta change it up and, with all the crap weather keeping me housebound recently, this is exactly what I need.
