House music sometimes seems like a set-it-and-forget-it genre. The artist puts on a bassline, strolls out of the room, gets experimental with instant ramen, and comes back to make a minor adjustment that lasts another four minutes. Ghibli‘s newest album, Rare Pleasures, doesn’t live up to that generalization, and we’re all better for it. It’s a little disco-house, a bit of the genre that many try to forget like the Three Wolf Moon shirt hidden in your closet, and grainy samples that come from youtube videos instead of vinyl. Mining illegal videos of songs for your chop material is rare enough, right?
