I know he's a rather buzz-tastic chap these days, but I've loved Michael Silver's (aka CFCF) stuff for a while now , so I'mma go ahead and post this new track from his upcoming album Exercises . Exercise #3 (Building) is a peek into the contemplative nature of CFCF's new record (which was partly inspired by "institutional architecture and 702s Canadiana" amongst other things), and it is really rather beautiful and hypnotic.

CFCF, DO U LIKE NIGHT BUS? CFCF has always been a favorite of ours here at bummer bit. Most of you have probably heard hisNight Bus II mix, But do you know where that came from? Spawned from Burials 2009 track "Night Bus".

Alaska In Winter By Stef Siepel The Weekly Froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writers fancy. Track of the week: The Coldest Day in the World by Alaska in Winter I loved the album Holiday by Alaska in Winter , really enjoyed that [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-03T23:19:05+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4035859/sounds-of-a-mild-winter/

With another February comes yet another Groundhog Day where the groundhog does in fact see his shadow and we are doomed yet again to six more weeks of winter.

Fabulous There was supposed to be a guest mixtape here today but the dude flaked out on us. For shame! So you're stuck with me ( @thelastminute ) and this hastily tossed salad this week. Sorry if the levels are a bit off. Don't forget to support the artists and go buy stuff! Obligatory personal update: Dorothy and I are currently driving across sunny Florida as you listen to these sweet jams. If it's your turn to curate next week you better not bail on us.

Montreal-based DJ and electronic artist CFCF has announced the release of his new mini-LP, Exercises via Paper Bag Records on April 24th. Exercises shows a different side of CFCF's ever expanding palette with a series of subdued piano and synth based pieces. Pulling from influences like Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Borden among others, and using institutional architecture and 70's Canadiana as a framework. Exercises has a distinctly 20th century feel. Opener "1 (Entry)" lures us in with a melancholy bed [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-03T12:11:28+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4034527/cfcfs-exercises/
Montreal based epic electronic producer CFCF is gearing up for the release of his now EP, Exercises, which will show a different side to Michael Silver. A more atmospheric side, driven by piano and layered synths. The first track released from the EP is Exercise #3 (Building) and shows us what to expect. So, less Balearic rhythms, more beautiful textures then. Channelling bits of Vangelis, Philip Glass and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Exercise #3 (Building) is an journey across an electronic panorama with the listener as the passenger. Starting softly with the piano refrain the track gently guides [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-02T23:39:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4033000/montreal-based-dj-electronic-artist-cfcf-has-announced-the/

The last time CFCF released anything more than the odd remix or mixtape predates the start of this blog, so I've never really had a proper chance to articulate my love for Michael Silver's wonderfully lush, dance-inflected music until now. A brand new, 8-piece "mini-album" dubbed Exercises is headed down the pipes, as Silver turns his attention away from balearic beats and shaker-rhythms, instead working out a series of contemplative piano-and-sytnh based instrumentals that draw inspiration out of the likes of Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto, and David Borden.

CFCF: "Exercise #3 (Building)" [ mp3 ] We love CFCF . "Exercise #3 (Building)" is taken from Montreal's CFCF, aka Michael Silver, new mini album, entitled "Exercises". According to the label, this release "shows a different side of his pallette with a series of subdued piano and synth based pieces.

On his new album Exercises , the Montreal producer and remixer CFCF leans away from dance music, instead making a series of meditative instrumental pieces built around synth and piano.

Vaya! Al fin, hoy no estoy aqui para hablarles de CFCF con motivo de algun nuevo remix sino que hace unos cuantos minutos acaba de anunciar el lanzamiento de su nuevo material titulado "Exercises" y, por lo que puedo escuchar en este primer adelanto que colgo Paper Bag en soundcloud me parece que nos encontraremos con 8 melodias un tanto espaciales llenas de efectos y sonidos que seran capaces de adentarnos en el propio mundo de CFCF a diferencia de aquellos tracks que nos fue mostrando en los que facilmente se colaban dentro de algunos playlist [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-02T15:56:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4032458/cfcf-announces-new-release-exercises/
Ive drooled over CFCF plenty of times already - and here I am doing that same thing once more. The Montreal-based producer is set to release an 8-track piece titled Exercises on April 24 via Paper Bag. Exercises is all snowy walkways and long corridors, endless escalators ascending to desolate concrete plateaus. Each track feels like an exploration of lost memories, studies in nostalgia, exercises in spatial remembrance. Stream/grab Exercise #3 (Building) below - a true melancholic, electronic, piano-tingled masterpiece.]]>
