  • Derecha – minusbaby

    It’s surprising to me as someone who generally isn’t that big on chip music that I’m on my third straight play through minusbaby’s new album, Derecha. And even though I admittedly get fidgety and impatient on hearing more than one song at any given time in any given genre (chronic musical ADD), here I am humming along like an asshole, more forcefully with each repeated listen, ad-libbing riffs here and there while I finger-drum beats on my desktop like a white Candido, and quickly approaching my fourth return listen.

    As an album, it’s a mature progression from his previous EP, Left. And it’s damn good. And I want to tell people about it, but what do I even say? It’s chip music, but it doesn’t sound like something from any video game I played when I was a kid. It’s new music made with old-school mentality using a combination of sounds that could either be from 1985 or 2085. It’s funky, it’s danceable, it’s composed, it’s cerebral, it’s performing a complicated samba throughout the Southern Hemisphere at times. It’s all of these and yet it’s none of these.

    In a word, it’s minusbaby.
