Thanks to Jamie’s post about the new Dirty Projectors track, I found out about another free download on Domino, this time a track called “Wire,” from Jon Hopkins (nerdy parents? If he didn’t go to school there I’d be very upset. “Hey I’m Jon Hopkins, I go to Johns Hopkins. Yeah, that’s right, I go to my own school. What.”) All that in mind, he is from the UK…so, that parenthetical event was highly unlikely.
Hopkins does all studio work himself, which is incredibly impressive considering his music is all layered instruments and electronica that comes across in a brilliantly smooth manner. The sound keeps you on the edge of your seat, waiting for that part in the song which just full out explodes. Be sure to check out his upcoming album, Insides, set to release May 5 on Domino. Pre-order it here.
