Hooves - Minimus EP (2012)



9.4

/Shoegazetronica, Experimental indie, Americana, Free folk, Poptronica, Art pop, Chillwave, Electronic pop, Glo-fi/ 

Comment: undoubtedly this set of 4 tracks is an intriguing one created by Daniel Kolpin from New York, USA. He merges modern sonic tendencies into a pleasing whole with the quite illustrating name. Blissed-out synths are mixed up with anthemic vocal lines, catchy bass sequences, and chiming guitar-based choppiness. It embraces masterfully the parts from such styles as Americana, NWA, glo-fi/chillwave, shoegaze, poptronica, and even exotica pop. More concretely, there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of Monster Rally, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors, Youarehere, Grizzly Bear, Bilinda Butchers etc. Kolpin`s music used to invigorate and calm down simultaneously. Eminent work by any means.
