Shortcircles

Via the always-interesting Life:Aquatic, I've come across the music of shortcircles. shortcircles is Matthew Tamariello of Oakland, and he makes wispy, glowing tunes that exist somewhere between Air France and Baths along with nods to the Avalanches and instrumental hip-hop. His debut 3-track EP is available for free download via the Mapzzz bi-weekly EP series, also something worth keeping bookmarked. The georgous slow-building opening track "Iwishthatyouwould(pleaseloveme)" features a litany of perfectly-chosen vocal samples plus what may be the best use of a saxophone since Cut Copy's "Hearts On Fire."
