Sil Never gets old. Favorite pass time at the moment is grabbing a coffee around noon and driving down to the beach, all the while listening to Blurry Thursday as the pollen invades my eyes and I, too, (often on a thursday as well) have blurry vision.

da5idh kinda idm but not, chattery skittish beats, omnipresent melody and analogish bass. puts me in mind of some of Tom Ellards fine severed moments, no better recommendation imo, Favorite track: Blurry Thursday.

about

BLURRY THURSDAY is the affectionate title given to three new Milieu pieces, developed in tandem between a hardware setup of analog synths and drum machines, a couple different FM synth boxes and a DAW with more overdubs, sampling and FM synths to round everything off. The result exists contentedly in the post-SUN CAST landscape, with lots of melodic melancholy, funky bass riffs, 83 BPM drum grooves and slow-burn dynamism that lets you get comfortable for the ride.

The title track could be a sister recording for SUNDAY MEADOW BLUSH, as both recordings are whole-side-of-a-12" affairs, and both revisit the very "downtempo" Milieu sound of the earlier albums. "Housewares & Highlighters" picks the pace back up again with a breezy house feeling, slipping in hints of my influences from DJ Sprinkles, early Metamatics and Kerrier District, coalescing with some distinctly New Wave bass work and some acidic subtleties for added bounce. Closing the album's second side is "Terpentine Xylophone", the first piece I've recorded with the Yamaha TX81Z, which drapes a cloak of quiet contemplation over the last eight minutes, recalling music from prior recordings like IMPROVISATIONS FOR HYLIAN PIANO & WOODWINDS, ELIDE and some of the VIBRATELEPATHIC ANTIVIRAL BROADCASTS.

Altogether, BLURRY THURSDAY represents a "best foot forward" contribution from Milieu, with the optimism of a new year in mind, being the first recording of its kind to appear in 2021 so far. As you can plainly hear, Milieu is alive and well beneath all that Ohioan ice and snow, and as Spring and Summer approach, with their green revivals, you'll be hearing from him more and more.
