2010 Favorites: Disconnect From Desire

School of Seven Bells - Windstorm by VagrantRecords

I wrote about School of Seven Bells’ Disconnect From Desire for PopMatters’ end-year best albums list. Read here. I thought a lot about 1990s era BritPop when I first heard it, as I mentioned at The Whisper Council.

As expected, Planet Mu’s 2010 run has been quite diverse, from the dank halfstep/techno hybrids of Vex’d’s Cloud Seed to the woozy, midtempo dream state of Solar Bears’ work. An EP from 22-year old UK producer Chris “Tropics” Ward falls along the lines of the latter. Warbled and melodic, Soft Vision is powered by strong grooves, too.
