Montreal's electronic dark dreamers Discolor Blind have revealed "Poor Receipts", the second single from their debut EP Long Vivid Dream, set for release on 1st September via Republic Of Music. This follows up their well-received single "Black And Grey". If a musician's creative output is intrinsically linked to the journey that brought them to that point then it is hardly surprising that Discolor Blind offers a mercurial blend of flavours and genres. The journey taken by frontman Askhan Malayeri has taken him from his native Tehran to Cambridge and London and then across the Atlantic to Canada, where he established his own studio and began pulling together all of the ideas that would weave together as his first significant release.
The EP Long Vivid Dream was recorded in Montreal between April 2013 and October 2015. It features vocalist Alexis Nadeau, who Malayeri met through a mutual friend in September 2013. The EP also involves Grammy and Oscar-winning music producer Jeff Bass, best known for his long-term work with Eminem and collaboration with George Clinton. This EP is laced with the melancholia and angst that crept in from the cold Canadian winters Ashkan now found himself acclimatising to, summing up the myriad textures found on the record. A mix of chilled and measured washes are used as platforms for more intricate sounds from raw guitars and plaintive pianos to pop beats and even sultry jazz grooves that should in the first place satsfy fans of bands like Blonde Redhead, Portishead, ,Massive Attack, Touch And Go, Black Needle Noise and similar. In the player below you can give a listen to the just unveiled single "Poor Receipts". Link
