Rival Consoles & Peter Broderick - "Soul"
Rival Consoles' synthy video game percolations meet with the expressive vocals of Portland's Peter Broderick on "Soul", a hypnotic adventure of a track. Taking the isolated vocal foundation from "Proposed Solution to the Mystery of the Soul" off Broderick's 2012 record,
These Walls of Mine, this "remix" transforms the minimal, percussive ricochets of the original into its own busy, expressive undulations. Occupying a towering and dynamic sonic space, this track is one of my favorites of the year, and at once makes me want to hear more from Rival Consoles
and Peter Broderick -- which is a rare feat for remix tracks, which often retain very little charm from their original inspirations.
This track comes from the London producer's EP
Odyssey, which you can stream below in its entirety. It is
all good, and it's available now on
Erased Tapes. Peter Broderick has also just reissued
Float 2013, a lovely rework of his modern classical record from 2008,
Float.
