Sweetness

Currently, the song I’m listening to the most is Sweetness, by Fischerspooner. It’s sort of weird, because a lot of the parts of it are relatively … I dunno, “obvious” seems to be the word that comes to mind. The bassline’s basically an arpeggiator, and the beats are really straightforward sounding 808-y electro drums. But there’s something undeniably catchy about it, and even though it’s not necessarily technically interesting, there are a lot of really appealing sounds in the song, coupled with a distorted, highly effected vocal track that just … works. Apparently, their big “hit” was a song called Emerge, which is also good, but not nearly as… compelling to listen to. Sweetness just as a depth to the layers of sound, and there’s always something you can focus on, and all the different tracks work so well together.

Wacky stuff.
