The German producer Constantin Link otherwise known as Krell has created a deeply engaging track with “Keep Your Head Down” that finds it’s shape-shifting and amorphous shape and phrasing from an unlikely place. According to Link the track, “draws inspiration from popular music in order to deconstruct it. The foundation of the track is an original sample, which the german producer played with an Indie Pop sound in mind. In this piece, however, the aforementioned sample is heavily slowed down and processed with granular effects to create a rich texture out of a 15 second snippet of a song.” I love this kind of music - listening to skewed pop music slowed and mutated to it’s most musical and non-musical movements. Inspired by Oneotrix Point Never’s album Garden of Delete (great choice) “Keep Your Head Down” creates a hauntological mirror to pop music - drawing on Vaporwave, Neo Classical and post apocalyptic Ambient aesthetics - all through the kaleidoscope of making, listening to and sharing music on the internet.
