Music Wednesday (early edtion): Album Review: –Geocities– Oui Oúi

Oui Oúi-- Geocities (4/6)

Guys, Geocities is free here. The rest are sliding scale.  Go buy their music.

Oui Oúi is an independent "ambient/drone/electronic" duo hailing from St. Louis, MO. I was gifted their six track album (on cassette tape no less) from a friend this Christmas.

This, right here, is why I like electronic music so much. It’s pure innovation. Unlike a lot of music it it's genera though this little album doesn't make the mistake of becoming cluttered but still maintains the strong layering that electronic music is known for. An excellent balance of the rasping drone work and a stead background loop that layers on itself beautifully makes this little underdog a real gem.

Overall, I love it. Geocities has a cinematic, but not overbearing feeling that is very easy to get lost in.
