Geoff Farina - "Only Yellows" - Reverse Eclipse (Southern 2001)

Right now I’m on a big Geoff Farina trip. I can’t exactly pinpoint it, but there is just something hypnotizing about his sparse arrangements, impeccable phrasing and warm guitar tone. A founding member of Karate and the Secret Stars, Farina way too often is overlooked and underrated.

Like Pantha du Prince a few weeks ago, Gui Boratto's Chromophobia is an album I rue not reviewing sooner. Not just for its Apparat-like cover-art, either: “Xilo” is an infectious demonstration of the Sao Pãolo native’s knack for turning cold loops into warm, colorful, chromophilic pop pieces.
