imaginary trip sounds

Os Plastik Joy são um projecto do italiano Cristiano Nicolini e do islandês Fannar Ásgrimsson. Estrearam-se este ano com o álbum 3:03. Uma sonoridade electroacústica, downtempo, ambiente e em certos momentos a tocar no trip-hop, com muita guitarra suave, ruidos vindos não sei de onde e com umas batidas quase minimalistas. A acompanhar, uma voz feminina doce (que não consegui descobrir de quem é). Melodias tranquilas e bonitas é o que se pode ouvir num dos melhores discos que ouvi este ano, por isso recomendo vivamente.

* Plastik Joy refresh: Fannar, um dos elementos dos Plastik Joy, deixou um comentário a informar que a voz feminina que se ouve no álbum é de S. Kawasaki. Era uma das coisas que andei a investigar mas não consegui descobrir. Fica aqui este apontamento.

"There is no feeling like the innocent elation of children, jumping into a world created by a joint, unlimited imagination. Cristiano Nicolini (ITALY) and Fannar Ásgrimsson (ICELAND) are Plastik Joy. The two met while studying audio engineering in Barcelona (2005). Cristiano comes from a homegrown, dorky electronic background, while Fannar grew from more folk-rock roots. Their shared love of music-making toys, and tendency to go on sound tangents- with little regard towards genre or over complexity- brought them together like two kids, racing the clock at recess. Plastik Joy celebrates simple melodies and music play, born of plan and mistake.

Plastik Joy’s Debut album 3:03 which gets its name from the time of morning when the recording sessions usually came to an end. The duo of Cristiano Nicolini and Fannar Ásgrimsson with a bit of supportive help from a few friends created an album that emits a definitive nocturnal quality. It feels as sensual as it is lonely, as dreamy as it is conscious, and as bright as the dim glow of midnight streetlights, definitely music for after the after party. A perfect soundtrack to watch the sun return to its perch or to loose yourself in on a hazy day."
