As we inch closer toward the Fourth of July (and an extra day off work) here in the States, I’m gearing myself up for a few days filled with relaxation, music, and most definitely Mario Kart 8 to an unhealthy extent. But before I get there, I’m definitely down with sharing whatever I’m finding on the Interwebs—LIKE THIS NEW DORIAN CONCEPT TRACK. I feel like it’s been simply way too long since he’s dropped anything new. In looking at his page on Discogs, he’s clearly released some material since 2009’s great When Planets Explode, so it’s on me to keep up with his stuff, right? Sure, but I really just wanted a new album, which we will apparently all get to hear on Sept. 22 when he puts out Joined Ends on Ninja Tune.
The first cut we’re hearing off the album is “Draft Culture,” a lovely instrumental joint with buzzing synthesizers, shuffling (but not too shuffling) drums, and enough layers to keep everything moving along nicely. In other words: I’d totally be dancing right now if I had it in me/wasn’t embarrassed. But if you decide to do that, more power to you.
You can hear “Draft Culture” below.
