about

With the success of the first instalment of the Family Photo series, Cousin Carl releases another five freshly baked tracks from artists across the globe. From dub-techno to dust-caked house chuggers, Family Photo Vol. 2 asks you to lend your ears to an eclectic connection of other-worldly tunes.

In pole position, the elusive Blurry appears yet again on Cousin Carl with ‘Overtalk': a fantastically soothing yet brilliantly brooding piece of house that is to be enjoyed at either the most peaceful or the most energetic of hours.

Following Blurry, new-comer DJ Casshiss gets us on our tippy-toes with 'She Bad'. A wonderfully savage bumper a with tactile drum rhythm and palpable atmospherics that forces one to dance carelessly in whichever location they may be situated. All topped off with a sprinkling of bitter-sweet sass.

Next in the firing line is Russia's Caapi. With a successful release on the Russian label Oblast, he doesn't fail to catch our attention with his sublime electronic experimentations. His contribution 'Forest Alice' takes it down a notch with a low-slung rhythmic piece that is best described as an etherial dub-techno excursion. To be listened to when alone in your local wilderness. A local laundromat would be just as fitting however.

Another new-comer by the name of Fmy joins forces with Cousin Carl veteran Voyd to deliver the sublime ‘At the Movies’. With shimmering percussive tones and soulful vocal samples, the mature house piece leaves an icy trail in its wake. Obviously, to be enjoyed at the movies.

Bringing up the rear with superb skill is the Swedish newcomer Mäteriet enthrals the listener with ’81%’. The piece sets a sinister tone with a subtle drone and precise rhythmic excisions while an ever changing percussive motif crunches underfoot with a certain satisfaction. A versatile piece that can be enjoyed on the dance floor or indeed to accompany an evening gin & tonic.

To summarise, Family Photo Vol.2 is an assortment of profound thought and kooky, devil-may-care attitudes that is certain to impart a feeling of leisure…be it late-morning or mid-afternoon.
