Head Like a Kite

Electronic music gets the very actual problem that towards the uninitiated, it could all sound just about alike. When an designer like Dave Einmo arises with this easy-to-grasp idea as that behind his task Head Just like a Kite, it draws in listeners beyond the most common synths-and-beatboxes camp. The guitarist from Seattle’s artsy indie rockers Sushirobo, Einmo was influenced to start Mind Just like a Kite when he found a cache of very-8 movies his parents experienced filmed while Einmo was we were young in the past due ’70s. Using these movies both as motivation and as resource material for audio examples, Einmo ensconced himself inside a Chicago studio room with maker Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wines) and documented an album’s worthy of of songs, setting up simple keyboard tracks while you’re watching the movies to complement the old films’ rapid reducing. Einmo and Deck after that layered a multitude of digital and uncommon acoustic instruments on the simple tracks while appealing close friends like Darius Minwalla (Posies), Clay Martin (Sushirobo), and Asya from the preteen indie duo Smoosh to include drums as well as other instruments. The consequence of these periods, Random Portraits of the house Movie, premiered in the springtime of 2006, accompanied by a tour where Einmo screened the movies as he performed.
