Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts - Ubiquitous Gaze


1. Ubiquitous Gaze
2. Youre the One
3. Ubiquitous Gaze (Stringapella)

The first from Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts since last year’s critically acclaimed album, Breaking The Fourth Wall, continues in a similar style. So that’s a rolling stream of percussion, summer afternoon jazz-tinged melodies and lengthy samples of legendary musicians, making it all quite Moodymann to say the least.

Or that’s what the A-side could be described as. Flip it to find You’re The One‘s staggering, bumbling bassline and stabbed synths melded together in some broken, acidic electro kind of way, with the production cementing any reference to the early days of warehouse music while a Wurlitzer adds an element of madness to the background. Oh, and you get the titler’s harmonies in a Stringapella...www.plainandsimple.tv
