Smart Dust

New out from Tici Taci is the second full length album by Mr BC, ten tracks bound together as Smart Dust. There is plenty here for those fond of the chuggy/ ALFOS/ electronic indie- dance community to enjoy, with sparkling. cosmische synth sounds, low slung bass and slow mo machine drums pumping and hissing away. Ultrasuede is a starlit opening track, a sleek shimmy under the mirror ball with robotic vocals and melodica. 

Title track Smart Dust throbs and shimmers, with a topline that could be either a clipped guitar or a vocodered voice, and gorgeous sequencers, keys and piano runs.

The album glides by, each track a man/ machine joy, Hospital Blues and Frequency Illusion, bringing deep, funky bass and thudding kick drum, and nu disco sparkles and synths. Previous single Make It Burn is present in its Disco Mix form, Chic style guitars, while Are You Acperienced is stellar with a pulsing acid bassline. After nine slices of uptempo cosmic chug Smart Dust ends with Endless Loop, a four minute piano and FX piece. Halfway through the drums pad in and it lifts off, Kling Klang synths firing off in technicolor before it all drops out leaving just the piano. A rather lovely way to finish. Smart Dust is at Bandcamp, available on CD and as download.
