MUSH RECORDS
Transpose the luxuriant, slumbering, atmospheric texture of dream pop and slowcore acts such as Galaxie 500 and Movietone onto a hard drive, excise the drums in favor of thrumming breakbeats, and embellish with synthetic strings and burbling electronics, and you'll have the basis for a Her Space Holiday album. Marc Bianchi's sadsack romanticism provides the emotional impetus for his pretty, bubbling electro-pop. Neotropic is arguably the most accomplished female artist in the experimental electronic movement, melding ambient, dub, breakbeat and downtempo into tense soundtracks for thrillers yet to be filmed.
