Shisd – バーモント キッス (Vermont Kiss)
Formerly of Darlinghurst but now living in Japan, Felix Idle is the real name of producer (and… now vocalist?) Shisd. Even by my standards that first sentence feels clunky. Pushing on through though because we quite simply have no time to waste and I don’t want to spend unnecessary seconds on words when there’s a song like this is the wings. My first thought was that the beat reminds me of a slowed down 90s hardstyle track and the vocal reminds me of a Japanese Eirik Glambek Bøe. The track you’re listening to presently isn’t an accurate representation of his earlier catalogue which is characterized by a washed out fog of noise, occasionally broken by dubbed out vocals. His most recent and only しsd EP featured Cape North on [some] vocal, who you may remember as the favourite track of from Collarbones in my end of 2013 artist choice list. It came out through Wood & Wire, a New Weird Australia sub project. I’m talking about a lot of Stuff and Things here but I’m trying to build an bigger tableau to demonstrate that he’s basically been higher functioning in scenes and relationships greater than our own, the breeding grounds for a track as good as this one. He’s escaped them, he’s in Japan, he did this song, it’s a cover of Japanese rock band 相対性理論 (Sōtaisei Riron), you’re gonna love it.
