What's The Story?
deadmau5 is quickly becoming the house artist to beat. The number of studio albums he has depends on your definition of a studio album, so we'll say it's from the popular one that's not For Lack of A Better Name.
Who's To Blame?
A 23 year-old with the nickname "old man" who will not stop until everyone knows how awesome deadmau5 is. (& rightfully so)
Why ♥ It?
deadmau5 is usually revered for his unorthodox use of chords and his unique and eclectic way of laying down beats. This song is not that.
I picked this as the song today because it's damn difficult to describe. If electronic had an easy listening branch, this track would be its posterchild. From the first second of the track, you're hearing the exact sound that you'll be hearing for the next 8 minutes. The line balloons and deflates, the beat changes, and other parts come and go, but the whole time, the spine of the song is that 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-etc that repeats over and over. The layout of the track is such that even when the intensity reaches peak, the relaxed nature of the song never leaves. By then, the tone has been set, and you're firmly along for the ride. I'm reticent to use the word due to its association with the dance genre, but I'd best describe this song as a serene trance.
If you've got 8 minutes where you want to kick your feet up and think about either nothing or everything, your soundtrack for that is right here.
