Babe Rainbow’s new EP “Endless Paths” is out today. Stream the new and absolutely stunning track “Set Loose,” one of the summer’s best.
Babe Rainbow has just dropped his new EP “Endless Paths” and is streaming the stunning cut “Set Loose.”
The Canadian producer made us laugh with the Richard D. James-esque music video for “It’s All Happening,” but with the new song “Set Loose” (found on just released EP “Endless Paths”), Babe Rainbow mesmerizes and the washes of synths, reverb-laden, hand-clapped beats and disembodied voices. This is electronic music as it should be—beautiful, revelatory, and so good it makes every other music project seem just okay.
“Set Loose” is already one of the best songs of 2011 and a perfect soundtrack for the summer—one that can be put on a loop without the risk of growing old. It’s just wave upon wave of electronic beauty in the tradition of Boards of Canada, the ambient work of Aphex Twin and Odd Nosdam. The rest of the “Endless Paths” EP explores darker, more schizophrenic shades to great effect.
“Endlass Paths” downloads are available at Bleep, Amazon and iTunes.
