BACKGROUND GUFF
The original version of ‘Days’ is a stunning post-trip-hop track that deposits itself somewhere in the realm of Portishead, Lamb and Massive Attack; it’s been cut by several-member Romanian band, ABiS, headed by brilliant vocalist, Marina Gingirof (perhaps not famous yet, but more than likely destined to be), canny producer Costin Dumitrache, and pianist Horatiu Serbanescu.
This particular project also marks IF? Records’ first foray into remixing bands.
The second track is straight out of Tokyo - a Little Nobody remix that goes more lo-fi experimental/electro, with the beats stripped out, something like Nightmares On Wax colliding with Scanner. Maybe.
Track 3 here is a remix by Melbourne-based producer Ben Mill (better known as Bitch Shift, but here remixing under the alias Chairman Of The Board). Think laid-back, fairly straight-forward house accompanied by Afro-Cuban percussion. To us, it sounds like Portishead, if they were drinking Bacardi in Havana.
IF? label head honcho Andrez Bergen goes off on some kind of housey/disquo/spacey wash tangent on Track 4, while Nana Mouskouri’s Spectacles goes for breakbeats and an hilarious jazz tangent to round out the release.
With fellow band Aneb also doing sizzling stuff, we’re thinking Bucharest may be the next best holiday destination in a financially-iffy year.
