about

The second of three singles from the forthcoming SUN CAST album - a new Milieu record that has been in progress for the better part of eight years. Weathering hard drive crashes, studio changes, relocation and the birth of my daughter in that span of time, the material presented on Sun Cast is very much what one might call "classic Milieu" in that it returns to the subtropical Summer melodies, chopped break rhythmic nod, warm tanned basslines and a melancholic wistfulness that you can't quite put your finger on. A special record that will hopefully delight fans of albums like New Drugs and Swaying Palms, as well as Halifaxian works such as Ocean Lion and Pink Acre.

GREEN HEAT is a track that sits on the fence between melodic Milieu sadness and Halifaxian "Analog Botany" style dub techno sway. While busier on the percussion side of things, it still manages to keep itself laid back, with a wooden synth-bass at the forefront and dub chord stabs washing in and out of the stereo field like bubbling waves. Somewhere in the midst of all this, a two-chord tremolo surfs in slowly as the rhythm dips under the surface of the water for a moment, kissing the mermaids and taking Polaroids of the warped faces above. Once the rhythm comes up for air, the track enters full-on Milieu melancholy mode, making the entire jam up to that point feel like a slow curtain pulling back to reveal a bleary-eyed sunset, laid over your tired sand-covered feet like a blanket.

Backing Green Heat for the single are three outtakes from the SUN CAST sessions, themselves Summer-obsessed and ready for a drive.
