Unfortunately, Seattle has reached its sunshine quota for the week. Seasonal Affective Disorder lurks around every damp corner, skulks in puddles... but salvation is only a paragraph away.
Balam Acab's remix of Twin Sister's "Kimmi in a Rice Field" is graceful and uplifting. Chill-wave is often aggravatingly blithe to those in dark grey environments, but Twin Sister's vocals are wistful enough to avoid such a clash of moods. The original instrumental accompaniment is humdrum, a bit of synth zig-zagging through the typical chill-wave smear. Witch-house producer Balam Acab cleans it up, making the instrumentals as dreamy as lead singer Andrea Estella's voice. There's no soggy gloom or muddy reverb. Here is the official (and downloadable!) antidote for Seattle's Annual Doldrums.
