Edward Vanzet – Everyday

Edward Vanzet has come through with something special this week, a track called ‘Everyday’ that’ll tap into that same section of your psyche that took so much pleasure in the washed out rythms of… Washed Out. It’s just energetic enough to be of some dancefloor worth but every element of production feels so filtered and muted so as to make it seem like you’re in a carpeted environment. It’s that muffled warmth that makes the heavily reverberated claps from 3:28 thunder out like a dropped saucepan in an empty carpark. That production change isn’t an isolated incident either as the song progresses forward with constantly evolving sounds and tones. The introduction has more hi-hats than Pharell but they’re sucked out through the tracks middle before returning with compliments from a beautifully maneuvered electric guitar. The vocals initially made me think of Kavinsky’s Nightcall but after a little further investigation, even those have been softened to accompany the enclosing record. The track is perfectly articulated which seems wildly impressive before you realise that the chap has a history of well developed ideas. Added below for your listening pleasure is ‘Lichen’, a record from two years ago now that’s more Bibio than Washed Out but just as lovely with its guitar melodies and agile instrumentation. I’m head over heels for this one, friends.

The EP arrives tomorrow, prep yourself.
