Dim Mirror by Stereo Serum + Too Much
This week MalLabel Music has another tag team insta-classic for you as Humboldt County California's, Stereo Serum and Vancouver, Washington's, Too Much team up to bring you an EP of experimental new heights in glitch and beauty.
Even since having just a guitar, amp, and a distortion pedal/drum machine in high school, Stereo Serum was already experimenting with whatever sounds he could push out of them. Once he found Arcata's bass music scene upon reaching college he found himself a use for all the experimentalism and got to work creating a new flavor of rich, textured dubstep for space travellers with an old school vibe. Meanwhile in the far Northwest, Too Much wasn't giving much care to the standard EDM idea and spent most of his time finding more ways to break it and make a rhythm out of the pieces. Expect jazzy vibes born of many pretty glitches and expert segues from very different emotional journeys to the next.
When two artists with such a strong focus on the innovative get together it's always a treat to see whether us mere mortals will even be able to comprehend the ensuing artistic collision. Sometimes however, their visions are so complimentary the resulting nova is nothing short of magical. Dim Mirror is a fine example of this union becoming a joyride through time and space with no two beautiful and glitchy bars alike. Alongside the EP they have recruited a couple alien visitors, Spiritualeyes and AliEn LOuNge to round off the EP with some more otherworldly vibes. Let the space traveller in you loose and take off.
