I’d love to start an article wearing my self imposed ‘Taste Maker’ credentials firmly on my sleeve, detailing in full the history of <a href="https://madeinheights.bandcamp.com">Made In Heights</a>. I would point out an inspired parallel between the duo’s back-story and their dream-focused sound; it would have been delightful.
Sadly the groups debut effort completely passed me by back in December of last year. I did, for the purpose of this article, go back and give it a listen. The results were hit and miss, especially after experiencing Aporia: In These Streets, a record that states very firmly from the off what it came to do. <a href="https://madeinheights.bandcamp.com/album/winter-pigeons-songs-to-raise-your-dead-spirits">Winter Pigeons (Songs To Raise Your Dead Spirits)</a> just feels underdeveloped in comparison.
The follow up from the duo, made up of Blue Scholars’ DJ/producer Sabzi and New York-based vocalist Kelsey Bulkin, is quite the treat. Made up of 6 originals and 5 separate instrumentals, it blends dream pop and trip hop sounds to form a blissed out stream of pop gems. Below are 3 highlights from the compilation. Download the full record <a href="https://madeinheights.bandcamp.com/album/aporia-in-these-treets">here.</a>
