I laughed when I saw this in my timeline:
Then I had two thoughts. First, this sounds right up my alley (they had me at “barely contains any musical content”) and second, challenge accepted, sir or madam.
(I also had a question: Why the capital “K” at the end of luck? Alas, we may never know.)
“Giant Eyes & Infant Steps” is the first 2019 release from Whettman Chelmets, apparently inspired by his newborn daughter (so congratulations WC). You can find it on Girly Girl Musik, including cassette or CD options.
It’s a six song EP-length offering with a variety of great sounds. The short opener starts with some electronic orchestral sounds and then hits some harsh noise. While that might not be our original respondent’s cup of tea, they didn’t give it a chance as the second song offers a bit of ambient keys and atmospherics. The economically named third song (“TFW it’s 400 am and you’ve been up 3 times already”) starts with some echoing guitar over drones, builds to some loud post rock, and then slowly calms down to the finish. Look at that, we’re only half way through and I already found lots of musical content.
The remaining tracks are each built over a drone base. “MRW I Drop the Passie in the Dark” has some subtle beats and whooshes, and eventually loud guitar kicks in. The title track has some hazy sounds behind the drones and builds an uneasy feeling. The closer again features a mix of sounds underneath the drones (some happy, some not), but a happy baby and daddy close out the track. All’s well that ends well.
In summary: really good stuff. And having had children myself, I can confirm it feels exactly like this music, all of it, at one time or another. Nice going Dada Chelmets.
