DIAMOND LIFE

MP3: Dreams West - Sweating
MP3: Dreams West - Shells

Seems like North Carolina's Dreams West is real into "sexy stuff" as well as the smooth as glo-fi feelings. Just saw this heavy slow jam ("Sweating") over at his soundcloud and the five subsequent pages of lush nostalgia-fueled electronica; deft with the loop repetitions and reappropriations of soul-heavy source materials, it comes off with a synthetic sheen akin to Teams. Thanks to Life Aquatic for the Twitter tip!
