Error: Orerator | electronic rumors

As I said earlier this week, I’ve been meaning to write about Error: Operator for a while now.

This London based mystery producer’s début album was released this week so now seems as good as time as any to introduce you lot to some of the most beautifully crafted electronica you will hear this year.

The album, titled ‘Mistakes’, defiantly feels like some kind of loose narrative, despite being mostly instrumental (utilising lots of vocal samples/news snippets/etc…). The distinctive soundtrack element in the music is probably what makes it really stand out, the dubby beats and intertwining synth work only act as a backing for the real work of piano, of violin and of snatches of someone else’s memories that Error: Operator has served back to us in a way that drills into your imagination.

If you want something chilled and thoughtful to see you into Autumn then look no further.

The album also contain three tracks featuring the guest vocals of Grizzle Emcee, Jane Elizabeth Hanley and electronic rumors fave Bright Light Bright Light. While something that can seem ill at ease with he rest of the album as a whole, taken individually they are some interesting collaborations. The Bright Light Bright Light track ‘July’ is slated to be the next single. Until then check out Error:Operators reMix of BLBL’s awesome current single ‘Love Part II’, which strips the song down into an, almost abstract, cosmic synth experiment.

OK, first off I gotta’ say I’ve been meaning to write about Error: Operator for a while now, they (he/she?) are producing some of the most interesting and listenable electronic around right now, their début album is defiantly worth a listen. Unfortunately sometimes things slip down the back of the blogging couch in this line of work and it’s easy to forget about stuff. I’ll be rectifying this mistake in the coming days with a dedicated Error: Operator post, in the meantime check their reMix of Passion Pit’s ‘Sleepyhead’.

It’s an oft reMixed track but Error:Operator bring something unique to the table. The reMix is pretty indicative of their sound, chilled without verging into the dangerous(ly boring) territory of ambient, more intricate and subtle. Their music harbours some deceptively catchy lead lines too!
