Bobby Boomerang – “Uncharted Waters”
Cutters Records label boss and Cut Copy frontman Dan Whitford is donning a new alter-ego known to the world as Bobby Boomerang! Under this new moniker, Dan will be exploring the “deeper reaches of dance music” with his own “reinterpretations of balearic house and techno, generated by experiments with his menagerie of vintage drum machines, samplers and keyboards.” And from the sound of these two tracks we are definitely going to be keeping a close watch on this project.
The first release under this new persona is called ‘Uncharted Waters.’ It is a two-track feast that totally delivers on the dance front. First up is “Where Am I?” with a beautiful atmospheric melody slowly building with soft percussion, resonant synthscapes and hip shaking electronic chord progressions. The title track rounds out the release with a deep, resounding “analog sub bass and skittering woodblock percussion.” The best part about this release is that it isn’t obvious dance music, but something much more layered and interesting, sonically speaking.
