Max Elto - Backyard Animals: http://youtu.be/1ehxukMAoe0
This piece has a very dark, urban feel to it, between the low but incessant acoustic guitar and the thumping heartbeat of the bass drum. It may appear muffled or even subdued at first, but listen closer: there us much more energy hidden in this track than you may realize; hopefully you feel what I mean when you hear Alto's staticy vocals kick in.
The impression I get from this track overall is that of an deadly alpha predator: think jaguar, panther, tiger, etc. The piece gradually saunters down the sidewalk, never breaking it's stare on its target, yet still knowing that it doesn't have anything to prove by rushing ahead. The vocals seem to have a shamelessly nonchalant attitude to them, almost daring one of the pedestrians passing by to make a move. This piece knows what it came for, and it knows exactly how to get it. At the end of the day, this piece has captured the idea that just because a jungle is made out of concrete instead of trees doesn't mean it is without a food chain--and a backyard animal at the top of it.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this piece as well, and you should expect more great underground chillout to be coming it's way to the Prescott Music soon! Enjoy!
