Spotlight on release #350: Faex Optim / Commodore *  M3U FMP3  I want to see another!  
 
 
    Faex Optim appeared in my inbox recently with a simple email - I think my tracks might fit the Kahvi sound, what do you think? Well, this short but ever so sweet EP of four tracks are about as close to Boards of Canada that this die hard BOC fan has ever heard.

Of course, Tycho and others have also made their style very similar to BOC, but Faex Optim hails from the very place that the Sandison brothers live - Scotland. Could it be something in the water or something else? hmm. All the tracks are amazing and if you're familiar with BOC, you'll get the feeling and the vibe straight away. Sentimental, lo-fi, analogue, warm, cold. Sending a shiver down your back? This ep has it all. And with minimal equipment that Faex described to me, so who needs a studio full of hardware to create tracks of this calibre?

Track of choice for me is Dancing lessons from the man. Enjoy Commodore, as part of the Christmas lineup for 2014!
