Namisoup EP [CLIPP221] By Namisoup
Namisoup return to the clipp.art imprint with a 6 track EP that is much a meditation on wilderness soundscapes and naturally ambient atmospheres as it an exploration into raw Middle Eastern lounge vibes. Like Caribou on a lo-fi bent, the Tel Aviv duo's love of organic sound, understated beats, and harmonic rhythms, pervade this self-titled release: From the piano house of "Opened" that glide lushly past your peripheral, to the crispy house crunch of "Vending" & "Lo Navo", syncopated percussion of "Tatmid" & "Dandi" and dreamy resolve of "Dali", Namisoup craft a collection of tracks that fold into each other like sand underfoot and fill you with the same sense of ease that comes from flipping through pages of an album of youthful Summer polaroids. On repeat listen tracks rearrange themselves in your memories like butterfly wings, figures in clouds, fractal patterns, a pressed four leaf clover. Wisps of vapour rising from a morning tea. Familiar and welcoming. This is easy listening that is made intentionally easy to not just listen to but groove on. Tov toda!
