REVIEW: The Remote Viewer - You're Going To Love Our Defeatist Attittude

7.75 out of 10

The Remote Viewer are a minimal electronic acoustic band off of the terrific City Centre Offices label. On "You're Going To Love Our Defeatist Attitude", their 4th release, they enlist the help of Nicola Hodgkinson from Empress(#8 of 03). This is a pretty laid back approach to minimalism techno.

This album is good for "going to sleep music". Or, if you're "hip" enough a soundtrack for a sheik/"fancy" wine and dinner party with some friends. Plucked guitar loops, buzzing electronics, clicks, bleeps, bloops, deeeep bass lines, pretty vocals (on select tracks), backwards swooshes and swirls, pianos, and "vintage" samples. Reminds me of Boards Of Canada remixed by Fourtet, only on the Ghostly label. If you're into relaxing music you will not be let down by this release.

Standout Tracks: All of them(but ESPECIALLY the ones with Nicola in them).
