Tei Shi // Bassically
“Bassically”‘s brilliance lies in its own contradictions: it’s destined to be endlessly described (as proved above) as future pop thanks to its post-industrial beat and Tei Shi’s ecstatic vocal, yet it’s as retro as it is future, powered along as it is by a wobbling italo-disco synth line, complete with giant thwacks of snare drums and piques of bleeps straight out of the ’80s. It’s intense, ethereal, danceable, introspective, experimental and absolutely loaded with hooks: anything that manages to simultaneously conjure up so many feelings and sounds is destined for great things. |
