8 Tracks: Between The Buttons With Arp

NY-based artist Alexis Georgopoulos (aka Arp) – who's previously released on a wide variety of labels including RVNG, Smalltown Supersound and Emotional Rescue – returns this Friday with his fourth LP! Blurring the lines between acoustic and electronic, between his experimental impulses and his pop sensibilities, the new double-album ZEBRA hovers between balearic, jazz, post-minimalism and other similarly cosmic styles.
For his 8 Tracks playlist, Arp has put together a selection of music that begs the question, "Just what the £#¡€ IS this?!" "Ambient Jazz?!" "Elevator Boogie"? "New Age send up?” Music that's the equivalent of a square peg in a round hole. Neither here nor there, but definitely OUT there. Get stuck in below…
ZEBRA is out 22nd June via Mexican Summer, pre-order it here.
Pure “Elevator Schmaltz? A “Synth Funk” masterpiece? You decide. S/O to Basso aka Growing Bin – who’s turned into a true force of all things fretless and beyond.
