I think it is, so its time for that thing I do where I review/tell you about/massively advise a track. This week my track of the week is bang on time, as its only a day old.
My track this week has a really summery feel about it (you can tell its been sunny again), but its got a beautiful mystical edge to it. So, a quick insight into what and who this track is by; firstly, it's by Moths, a.k.a Jack Colleran, nobody knows where he's or what he even looks like, he's like musics answer to The Stig, he's only just turned the mighty age of 18, but he produces music like hes been in the game longer than anyone else. It sounds cliche, but his tracks show so much experience and maturity, theres no gimmicks with synth, no massive drops, no switching from 90 to 140 bpm to rile up the crowd (though everybody does love that), he just coasts through with harmonic synths and a simple base with a low-fi feel to it. Its like surf rock meets chill out. It really is something to behold. When I listen to Moths, I either think about being at the beach on a sunny day, r walking in the city at night. His music has the power to transport you, it acts like a soundtrack to your life, its amazing really.
Jimmy Francis (the song in question) resembles my previous favourite from Jack, Heart, carrying that heart beat like base right through the rhythm. The mystical timbres that surround the base are enough as it is, but theres a distant synth and xylophone like sounds that come and go, giving the song a really playful little edge. There's not much you can say about Collerans work in terms of what it does, because its simplistic, but brilliant at the same time. Give it a listen and you'll realise why people are already speaking so highly of a such a young man. His simplistic and honest style form true chill out classics, and he has a pleasing ear for a tune. Never mind track of the week, this is track of the summer.
