Darkbloom

This Vinyl LP pressing, the Darkbloom EP, is a joint release from LA's Hippos In Tanks and Montreal's Arbutus Records. It features a thrilling split between d'Eon and Grimes, both once rising stars in Montreal's indie music scene. They crafted their sides independently after jointly conceptualizing the project. Grimes' side blends the dark energy of her 'Halfaxa' album with the shimmering dream - pop of 'Geidi Primes', showing a new level of clarity and craftsmanship. It offers a stunning collection of ethereal dreamscapes that expand her creative range. Meanwhile, following the Middle - Eastern - tinged R&B of his 2010 'Palinopsia', d'Eon's continuous suite explores technology reliance through lyrics and sonic references. For example, 'Telepathy' samples cell phone interference. He broadens his style by mixing elements of various electronic genres like Chicago footwork and new jack swing, also surprising with forays into old - school UK drum and bass and trip hop.

To enjoy this Darkbloom Vinyl LP EP, simply place it on a compatible record player. Make sure the player is clean and in good working condition. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, gently wipe the record with a soft, anti - static cloth to keep it clean. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent warping. If you notice any dust or debris on the record, use a record brush before playing. That's all you need to do to keep this great music collection in top shape and enjoy it for a long time.
