author: Pamela at CD Baby
With its nods to down tempo lounge beats and the mellow golden age of Brazilian bossa nova, Cosiner & Capital’s “Still” is a work that updates the Ipanema Beach ethos of the 1960s. Where one may have previously found Astrud Gilberto breathing through lyrics about unrequited love, here we have carefully constructed rhythmic loops and spherical classical guitar arpeggios. Delicately played and lilting, the nylon melodies bring the sun to your eyes and the surf to your step. The occasionally appearing electric guitars play like they’re on stretched-out eight-second bits of magnetic tape, while looping counter rhythms surface in understated percussion experiments. There’s a certain amount of discordant but dreamy melodicism here, and most of the time it’s right up front to hear. It’s the overall feel of the record, though, the summer evenings at the coast that it evokes, that perfectly compliments the current season, with its salt water, sand, and perhaps a bit of rum.
