The art of understatement, likeable and restrained. That is how the self-titled debut by PEOPLE PRESS PLAY begins. Synthetic sounds form echo-loops that, in a very similar way, could easily stem from KEVIN SHIELDS’ guitar as well. Rhythms take a deep breath, a woman’s nonchalant voice changes between relaxed jazz and reduced easy listening. MY BLOODY VALENTINE and ‘My Funny Valentine’.
The ingredients are well-chosen, the atmosphere is intimate, close to the ear. Retaining the passion for repetitive structures, duplication & modulation. But People Press Play is not just FUTURE 3 plus a female singer. It is an intensive time in the studio; analogue instruments & digital resources often have an equal rank. Sound & song-writing go hand in hand. The passion for STEVE REICH’s or BRIAN ENO’s music is audible & the love for dub resounds through out.
