Lemonade- Pure Moods EP (12"/DS/Usb Bracelet!!)
Pure Moods is the follow-up to Lemonade's beloved and insane debut album. This EP is an utterly unique take on electronic dance music, this time focused and melodic. It incorporates more explicit soca, dub, and calypso influences into Lemonade's existing ravey palate. Even if those sounds are channelled through 16-bit samples and city stories the record has a certain wetness to it- a rich vegetation of sounds.
Tight electronic arrangements layered with Alex Pasternak's fiercely clattered dums, Ben Steidel's invitingly rubbery bass and Callan Clendenin's wobbly vocal harmonies float in and out of scope. The whistles of Bedstuy's West Indian Day Parade ring out in "Banana Republic", Ballearic synths carress "Remain In Jah". The EP's leading track "Lifted" somehow submerges its anthemic chorus and raindrop synths under a deafening waterfall. It feels good. If their debut was citric slime, this EP is an orange; firm and almost uniform in its peel, sweet and wet inside.
The EP is available in 12", digital, and USB Bracelet formats. Yes, USB Bracelets. Limited to 150, we figured the music is so wonderful people should have the ability to have it attached to them anywhere they go. Pre-orders come with a cdr including all "Lifted" remixes (from Shortstuff, Hackman, Le Chev, Ghosts on Tape, and Brenmar). They come in Black, Blue and Green.
