groove not universal enough?
it's not that.
it is rather that this painfully cliched cutesy coy geek emotionalism is simply not held up by the incompetent song writing or delivery.
what's more, this stuff doesn't work in terms of "experimental" laptop sound work, NOR does it deliver on "post-dance" future garage grounds. the dance floor is not just lonely in this case, that i don't mind at all, but rather FILLED with half-assed pretention.
in terms of incompetent embarrassment it is comparable to when that Mathew Dear started singing on his poppy tech-house.
i mean i respect the effort, i admire the attempt to bring "musicality" and emotion and song writing into cold machine music. and kid might develop and mature into something seriously worthwhile, i'm not going to deny the possibility, but as it is now? trust me, in 2 years no one will give a shit.
