When the Ceiling Has Become the Sky

Copy - Mobius BeardCopy - A Slight But Delicious Warble.

This song is fucking dope. Copy is coming seemingly out of nowhere (well, Portland, Oregon) with this debut, and it's very good. It's got beats and synth and all these things you've grown to love from the wonderful Audio Dregs label. It's a thick, deep sound with hot action. The main melody is quite pretty, and the beat is one that could definitely work on the dancefloor. On the rest of the record, there are lots of similar sounds, but it's all very well done, and there's even some Ratatat-sounding elements which I found to be particularly awesome.

I think this is a good record for this Thursday -- it's an exciting day. Tomorrow is my last day of work for the year, my brother is coming in to visit tonight, and there are some really cool projects I'm working on. So on days like this I want my music to share in my excitement and eagerness. So let's get to it, ok?

The record will be available on Valentine's Day (February 14th, 2006). Until then you'll have to be satisfied with this mp3 right here. You can also go check out the rest of the audio dregs catalog for some cool shit.

And randomly, a quick google search reveals that the title of this song may have been culled from Pitchfork review of the Conet Project. That would totally be the case if Copy's Marius Libman had ever heard of Pitchfork. So, one can guess it's just a super weird coincidence.

love this album, expect to see It's a Little Too Late on a blog near here soon. I'm really confused he is not from Europe or Japan with that Isolee, Yellow Magic Orchestra and 8-bit sound. Lets try make him famous.

Hung out and watched him play tonight in Portland. This whole album is FUCKING AMAZING! Definitely would have been in my top five for 2005 had it actually come out on time.

Not to mention that Marius is a fucking stand up sort of guy. He'll definitely deserve to be famous.

Thx for posting this one, Robot Mark!

Great song, but Afro Oven is even better. Doesn't the album come out Jan 10th though?
