Meet your guy Hector Morlet who plays Clarinet and sang this song. He’s got a bunch of soundcloud lo-fi hip-hop beat type records floating around that are really quite nice, particularly those you’ll find on his descriptively titled ‘Hec’s 10:00 [EP]‘. It runs for 10 minutes, that’s extremely accurate. The songs I like most from that release are the ones where he’s spilled his vocals across them, low slung and draped in comfort like an afterthought while he calmly produced the beats live. It’s warm and homely, as the truest bedroom hip-hop beats should always be. Here’s another I really appreciated called Golden Sheets.

He also did a bit of a sing for Noah Dillon and is one of the merry band of Bush Chooks that Jack Davies has assembled. He’s evidently a man about Perth, someone vested in a community. We should talk about Picture Frame though, because it’s quite a long way from any of those soundclouds I mentioned. On this, his first kinda… ‘official’ single I guess, he’s gone yachting on the French Riviera, holidaying in a Neapolitan coastal manse. It’s a timeshare Still Woozy with a short term booking courtesy of Kings of Convenience paid for entirely in the credit of that clarinet. I know I’ve already said it, but I’d like you to acknowledge that you’ve heard me when I remind you that it is indeed Hec himself on that ‘Rinet (shoutout to my woodwind heads) as well as every other instrument on the track I think maybe.

Indie Randy Newman really killed it with Picture Frame, a track I’ve listened to at least 15 times in the past week already. Gorgeous and thick on groove, hang this in the… hang it in… HANG THIS IN THE LOUVRE I’M SO SORRY.
