Travel of the oddest but most tangible kind does strangely seem available to us in 2021. Virtual travel seemingly across both time and space. Certainly in terms of music. In all probability this will involve Spotify. There's plenty to disapprove of with Spotify of course, but it is at least it is and if you use it judiciously it can lead you to the most extraordinary listening experiences.
Like this for example. The kind of sleeve that would probably lead you to take it out for a closer look when skimming through racks in a shop for a closer look. But then probably put it back where you picked it out from rather than risking a purchase you'd regret. In this case you'd probably be making a mistake. Because this is an album well worth buying.
I've listened to this record quite a lot in the last few weeks. I read it as I made my way through The Confedaracy of Dunces for my Book Club this Tuesday, (virtual of course). It made a perfect soundtrack. Not distracting but complementary, its nooks and crannies every bit as strange and peculiar as the book I was reading.
El Michels Affair are an American cinematic soul group. Amazing, you can get any genre you could possibly wish for these days.They've been making records for many years and Yeti Season is their latest. Ot takes you to quite wonderful places.
