“Windswept”
Outsiders EP (out May 20 on Dummy/Paper Bag)
Montreal-based musician, Michael Silver, has really been the gift that’s kept on giving in recent years. In 2013, he put out two exquisite releases — the instrumental, Sakamoto-inspired Music for Objects and the gorgeous Outside — and he is showing no signs of slowing down. Far from just a box-standard remix LP, Outsiders features six tracks, four of which are re-imagined Outside cuts. One of those new ones, the aptly-titled “Windswept,” is a delicate, bewitching number that pits his hushed, evocative vocals over a delicious new-age arraignment. Like much of his best work, you can hear the track breathe, and it billows seductively into a deftly devastating resolution.
