urika’s bedroom – “Video Music”
There’s a certain combination of spangly guitar chords and shuffling breakbeats that will always take me directly out of time’s unrelenting forward flow. When I hear something that tunes into that frequency, I suddenly revert to teenage state — that moment when post-Beck tinkerers like the Rentals and the Folk Implosion and Bran Van 3000 walked the earth. If there’s a wispy, breathy vocal, that only enhances the effect. That’s the feeling I’m getting from “Video Music,” the latest track from urika’s bedroom.
