Knee-Deep Snow

Leslie Feist “Mushaboom” (demo) – The melody of this song is just plain gorgeous. This is apparently a rough demo, and as such the sound quality is a bit shoddy and lo-fi. It sounds as though she just recorded it live in some echoey room with the windows open. I’m hoping that this song is fully realized when it is recorded in the studio – I don’t think it needs much more in terms of arrangement, but a smoother tone on the solo, a melodic bass line, and some light percussion would definitely be a good thing.

Product 01 “Heart Ov Glass” – This is an electro/glitch cover of the Blondie classic. Or at least I think that’s basically what genre it falls into – after googling this song, I’ve seen it referred to as being “glitchout,” which is a term I’ve never seen before. Actually, I’m not totally clear on what “glitch” is to begin with. I suppose that it is a fairly descriptive term, but as with a lot of subgenres within dance music, I’m never very confident in identifying them by name unless it’s totally obvious. Usually, I’d rather just say “dance” or “disco.” Such is the life of the dilettante…
