If you’ve been around me and heard me talk about music in the last several weeks, I probably have mentioned Morgan Page’s “Longest Road” (feat. Lissie), especially the essentially perfect remix by Deadmau5. Turns out the guy is diverse.
Today I’m feeling not so super, so the single “Fuck was I” is perfect. Sort of effete, regretful, winsome. Way downtempo with a fairly indie-sounding female vocal, it’s perfect for these rainy days when winter won’t quite let go. Sort of gives you a championing feeling. Depression vindicated.
Genre: Chilled/Atmospheric Downtempo
Cheesiness: Not exactly, but sad female vocal
Dance-iness/Intensity: Very low
Tranciness: Low
Progressiveness: Low
Lyzaness: Medium
Fuck Was I (Morgan Page remix) (MP3 sample)
Believe it or not, “Longest Road” is from the same EP. In case you haven’t heard it, you really should. Especially if you were taken by Iio in the early 2000′s. It kind of fills that hole for me.
Genre: Progressive House (with Trance undertones)
Cheesiness: A bit; not too bad
Tranciness: Medium
Progressiveness: High
Danciness/Intensity: Medium
Lyzaness: Very high
Morgan Page feat. Lissie – The Longest Road (Deadmau5 Radio Edit) (MP3 Sample)
Both of these tracks are off of the EP “Elevate”, which by all means seems to be eclectic and fairly awesome so far. Get it at BeatPort!
