DSD September 7, 2017: "Computer" - PERMANENT
Shaun Cordingley
Welcome to the "Daily Song Drop": theguysfrom.com's song of the day feature where our resident indie music writer and former DJ Shaun Cordingley features a song every weekday that he feels you need to hear.
Computer - PERMANENT
Indie electronic duo PERMANENT released their third single "Computer" earlier this summer, and since I stumbled across it, I just can't seem to get it out of my head.
Check the track out below:
I really appreciate the simplicity of "Computer"--every part of the song, from the vocals/vocal loop, to the kick, to the beat is exactly everything it needs to be to create a really great track. There's something about the retro-tinged vocals (kind of making me think of Lucius, a group I am incredibly fond of, and a very very early feature on Tuesday Tunes, but with a bit more of a vintage-radio feel), and their laid-back tone, with the more urgent beat behind them that works, and works to excellent effect at creating a unique sound.
I really look forward to hearing more from PERMANENT, as they are still so new, but in "Computer" have really, in my opinion, started to focus in on a sound that is very exciting.
The August 2017 DSD Playlist is here! This month we are only missing one (1) track, from AL-X the Great, as it is not available...anywhere other than where I put it in here, but it is tradition that we are missing something every month. Also, here is the link to the August '17 Spotify List because....we are on Spotify!
If you're looking for any of our past playlists, be sure to check out a Friday DSD feature, or serach for TGF on either Apple Music or Spotify!
See you tomorrow for our next Daily Song Drop!
