MANSIONAIR

MANSIONAIR

The whole reason I began this blog was to share music I find both emotionally and intellectually stimulating whilst at the same time pleasurable and melodic, with no genre bias. Music, as by definition, is an art form consisting of sound and silence. It's how that silence and sound is intertwined to form what we call a track, record, single or in my own term, riddim.

Thats why Mansionair have come to my attention. A genre-less duo named Alex and Lachlan coming from Sydney released a tune called Hold Me Down featuring Revier just over a month a go, and by no means should it be ignored from the massive influx of Australian music talent that has emerged in the past year.

Flume, What So Not, Chet Faker and Wave Racer to name a few have exploded onto the electronic music scene with no questions asked, their talent is there too see. Mansionair in my mind will be a fundamental member of that rising scene thats made Australia one of the most exciting musical prospects of this year.

Give Hold Me Down a listen, the only way I can describe this tune without sounding like every other music blogger is if Cara Delevingne and you just had a blossoming sexual relationship borne from a purely random encounter down a boulevard in Paris, and all at once she had to leave, with no notice, but what you're left with is a free download courtesy of Alex and Lachlan and the memories of that boulevard exchange.

Enjoy
