Sonic experimentalist Solicce, a.k.a. Tom Gallo, has a debut full-length dropping early next year. On the small collection of tracks he's seen fit to release beforehand right here, "Moonsailing" is a touching and piano-lead standout. Not only is the piano playing here delicate and patient, but the ambient textures that grow to surround it are lovingly crafted. Give a listen, be moved.

P.O.S- We Don't Even Live Here
Reviews1 CommentThis new P.O.S record will probably please a lot of fans. Stefon did work to groom his style, and bring a succinct set of tracks that are easy to take in, but a lot of the instrumentals here--outside of "Bumper" and "Fire In the Hole / Arrow to the Action"--don't match the revolutionary attitude Stefon's lyrics portray.
