ELECTRONIC FOR THE PEOPLE
When we talk about layering.
The debut of Canadian MIKE MILOSH attempts, successfully, a strange combination of IDM-style electronics and black-ish (but he's white) soul-r'n'b sensibility.
Thus, on a synthetic sound backdrop, built on solid foundations of bleeps, beats & loops, sporadic acoustic instruments and absolutely "organic", warm, human vocal inserts are grafted; the result is an occasionally exhilarating overlap game, two hypothetically distant sensibilities finding a truly "ideal" meeting point where the sidereal and post(but not dis-)human melodies of AROVANE, BOARDS OF CANADA, or early MANITOBA coexist with a Motown soul à la MARVIN GAYE.
Precisely MANITOBA (Canadian like Our Artist) provides with the latest "Up In Flames" the most fitting comparison, if not musically, then conceptually, with his hybrid and mutant musical creations where it's possible to identify (but not isolate) the electronic, acoustic, folk, psychedelic elements and so on contaminating.
There are eleven tracks in "You Make Me Feel," among which stand out: the title track placed at the beginning, immediately revealing its cards with an opening that seems to come from "Music Has The Right To Children" on which a you make me feel so happy sung with soul breaks in; "Your Taste," to listen to when "everything goes but doesn't go" and you need a bit of "peace"; "Something Good" to truly hope that something good is gonna happen; "Your Voice," where unease and "concrete" sounds appear; "Time Steals The Day," the most rhythmically tight, which finally gives way to the concluding "Frozen Pieces," to listen to on a rainy November Sunday, thinking of lost horizons that never return...

01 You Make Me Feel (04:43)
You make me feel
So happy
so real
You
Beautiful moment in my life
A sweet wrinkle in time
So let's stretch this thing out
Let's punch a hole in time
Sitting in there
Two gay creatures content in our own little world
Silence seems so much better with you
Coldness seems so much warmer with you
I want to kiss your mouth
That loving brush
That colors my world
I want to know your taste
I want to hear your sounds
In this moment
In this moment is almost
In this moment is almost...
