If people are still going "lol what's a balearic", this piece I wrote more than 12 (!) years ago is probably still my take:

The piano break in Magic Man is so reminiscent of one of those loft records but I'll never remember what

That Riney album sounds like sped-up vaporwave

Still love that MJS album Tim xps
Seem to remember seeing a social media post from them recently that looked like they were working on some new stuff

Maybe I'll have more luck pushing this here than on the Soviet Pop thread, although I think it would get my desultory ass out of the hammock for a late summer boogie.

I was at the beach in Vama Veche today, which AFAICT is Romania's beardo hippie nudist mecca, and I started reaching the conclusion that there is actually a balearic cover version out there for every song. This was after hearing the balearic "no rain" (blind melon) followed by balearic "paranoid" (sabbath).

“As the 5AM city sleeps and the strobe lights are slowly turned off, we gather on the wrong side of town in a transcendental journey alone together. We are the late night disenfranchised holding on in various after parties, flats, lofts, random kitchens and basements into the outer cosmos with É Soul Cultura. Music from exotic tear jerkers, Afro-spiritual jazz, cosmic Brazilian celestial grooves, machine street soul, dark horses, lost B-sides, £1 bargain-bin bombs, hidden gems, late night Italo dubbing, deep velvet N.Y.C garage, bass buggin sonic futurism, wrong speed 33BPM pitched up +8 new beat, majestic sunset strings, sweet vocals from heaven, no half steppin jazz dancing in outer-space and odd numbers. Yes… magical moments, together, holding on in witness protection suburban cul-de-sacs and Castle Court flats. Cosmic É high, 3000ft above the city getting evangelical to murky, wonky timeless beautiful music. This thing of ours dreaming of better days. Fail we may, sail we must, the sun will come up again.”
