Star Circle Anatomy – “Cold / Path” – [Debacle Records]

Starcircleanatomy is Izaak Schlossman from Philly. Cold/Path starts off with two great tracks “Cold Gold” and “Skiagram” that remind me a little of Flying Lotus with the glithchy beats and loops. On the first few listens I really enjoyed the entire CD. However soon the third track “Unline” became a bit annoying. Not even the fake applause somewhere in the middle of the track had any sort of influence. I think Izaak could have gotten a little more creative with the loops instead of focusing on the main one on “Unline”. The background loops sound pretty good but that focal one just ruined it for me. But you may like it. “Speciter” is ok too. The beginning of the track reminds me a lot of Washed Out. Cold/Path is pretty ambient/downtempo-ish that gives off a very happy upbeat positive feeling. I think Starcircleanatomy has a lot of promise in the future.
