Doldrums - Air Conditioned - VINYL

Vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release, the highly anticipated second album by Doldrums, the band led by 25 year old Electronic musician Airick Woodhead. On the follow-up to his 2013 debut Lesser Evil, the DJ, producer and performer makes a sizeable leap from being darling of the Montreal warehouse creative explosion that gave the world the likes of Grimes to being a stand-alone artist and composer on the cusp of something quite special. Doldrums apply a punk rock ethos to electronic music, creating songs using samplers and DJ gear in place of guitars. Bold, anxious, dream-like, uplifting, glacial, hypnotic, constricting, expansive, alien - this is an album that is ever-changing. The Air Conditioned Nightmare is an album of texture and taste, an extra-sensory overload. Weaving through the mix are Woodhead’s androgynous, tweaked vocals singing lyrics like voices down broken phone-lines. This is music born of the 21st century.
