Based
on what I can find on Bandcamp, there is little to be known about Q///Q aside
from a handful of releases, and of course by handful I mean this one and three
others. One of them is actually on Skrot Up, a label
that has had involvement here before, and they also have Q///Q tagged as German
Army, so that is kind of interesting, is it not?
In
any event, this is an artist I want to know as much about as possible simply
because I wish to obtain all the music released by Q///Q as well. Side A begins with spoken words and then
goes into beats. It sounds like
something along the lines of PM Dawn or Miami Vice, but there are also synth
bridges and the overall feel of a carousel.
This continues throughout the entire cassette, but is still most
prominent on this side.
Taking
what we learned from Side A, when Side B of “Jardim” comes on it also brings in
other influences. I can hear a song that
I believe sounds like an instrumental version of “Parents Just Don’t Understand”
and that makes me happy. There is also
this dawning synth quality to one of the songs, which then brings out some high
hat vocals. All of these elements combined result in
something that also borders on the video game side of things as well.
While
there is no clear genre to put Q///Q into, I still very much enjoy this music
and perhaps also a little bit too much enjoy the mystery that comes with this
artist. Is it a side project? Is it supposed to be a secret? Is it supposed to be only word of mouth and underground,
hence no official Bandcamp or Facebook page?
These questions remain unanswered- at least for now- but what I can tell
you is that this is some simply awesome music.
