Equation

Some days you go out with your camera and blip the unexpected. Other days you know in advance what you're going to do. It's a simple matter of This + This + This = Blip. Today was one of those days. Turned out exactly as expected. It might not be to everyone's taste but it is exactly what I wanted. A companion piece to yesterday.

I was mentioning the fabulous new Peaking Lights album yesterday. By George, it's good. Reminiscent of the mighty Forest Swords in places, imagine them with some drifting female vocals and you're halfway there. Talking of 'The Swords' (and I may well be the only person to actually refer to them as that for all I know), they've recently done a beautiful remix of a track by Gold Panda that is stripped, sparse and packs a huge minimal wallop with some African chanting and the occasional big bass rumble. Compare and contrast. Original here, their remix here.
