Now for something a little different. Okay, okay, a lot different but I think you will enjoy this. I've been beating you all about the head and ears with the funk lately, this is a complete 180 change in course so hold on tight. The song is entitled Flikr of Ur Eyes by the group Swarms. This is dub step in a way that's rarely heard. Gone is the rumbling bass, the hard driving beat, or the enveloping sound. All of that has been replaced with...Off of their 2011 release Old Raves End, Swarms brings something to the table I like to call a "maturity" to dub step. Listening to this is like downing a refreshingly chilled glass of pinot grigio on a hot summers day. It's smooth, melodic, and it never gets stale. The songs true beauty, in my opinion are the "vocals", they bring in that important melodic content and make this song beautiful.
The video has it right, this is driving music if nothing else. The song will have you bopping your head and tapping your fingers on the steering wheel. It's haunting as well, you'll be thinking about it long after it's over. I don't know if Flikr of Ur Eyes will make anyone a Swarms fan but hopefully you'll enjoy this song as much as I do.
