Isaac&#8217;s voice fits perfectly into the mix with the Marshall&#8217;s, diving in and out of the front of the sound and interweaving with the throbbing bass and melodies. For any fans of unique sampling, this track starts off with a satisfying sound bit, albeit quite trippy.\u00a0&#8220;Thames Water&#8221; has the heaviest beats of the album, and by proxy the most satisfying drops and hooks. Following closely behind in the body moving beats category is &#8220;Ammi Ammi.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Getting lost in this LP is inevitable; it contains all the ingredients for spacey reflections and head nods, but if you tune back in to the lyrics and pick them out of the incredibly smooth mix, you&#8217;ll find words of substance and thought. The coddling loopy, ethereal harmonies from the brother&#8217;s voices and dopey bass lines feel lo-fi, but have a certain warmth. <em>A New Place 2 Drown<\/em> doesn&#8217;t reinvent genre&#8217;s (though it does reinvent Archy Marshall as a musician and artist) but\u00a0it&#8217;s gorgeous nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended If You Like: King Krule,\u00a0<strong>Nosaj Thing,\u00a0<\/strong>Homeshake, Good Morning<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Tracks: 4 (Ammi Ammi), 10 (New Builds)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do Not Play: 2 (Swell), 3 (Arise Dear Brother), 5 (Buffed Sky), 6 (Sex With Nobody), 9 (Empty Vessels), 12 (Thames Water)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Written By Kayci Lineberger on 01\/19\/15<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getting wonderfully lost in this LP is inevitable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1637,"featured_media":40876,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[182,4,3235,3230],"tags":[4139,4138,2732,4140],"class_list":["post-40578","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hip-hopelectronic-rotation","category-music","category-music-reviews","category-new-music-rotation","tag-a-new-place-2-drown","tag-archy-marshall","tag-kayci-lineberger","tag-king-krule"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/archy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40578","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1637"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40578"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40578\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40578"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40578"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kjhk.org\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40578"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
