The above video is from Nicolas Jaar's 2011 album Space Is Only Noise. The track is titled "Too Many Kids Finding Rain in the Dust."
Out of the jumble of albums I've been downloading recently, this is one of the standouts. Dude put out this album while studying comparative literate at Brown.
One reviewer claims that Jaar is creating "future-jazz," but I don't pretend to know what that means. Other terms used to describe his music are "experimental techno" and "Left-Field House." He's got a voice like Nick Cave.
I guess experimental techno hits closest to the mark, but where do reviewers get these terms?
Anyhoo, it's a fun, mellow album. Definitely worth checking out. I've only listened to it two or three times now, so these are just first, second, and third impressions. No idea if it'll have any staying power.
