Blue Material is a new project formed by Canadian singer and multi-instrumentalist Thom Gillies. The debut self-titled release is a lo-fi pop album that fuses itself through the sorrows and triumphs of a love lost in a city slowly being transformed by capitalism. The gritty and terse tracking approach was inspired heavily by overlooked, late 70’s funk tracks by artists like Universal Togetherness Band, Evan’s Pyramid and Cloud One.
“Personal” was originally slated to appear on the Blue Material album but was left off to be released as a follow up single. The track is an up-tempo funk song with an influential disco feel, almost reminiscent of early Chic or Prince demos. Till then its ttyl.
A Beautiful blending of dreamy bedroom pop and minimal house, drifty guitar parts and harmonics twinkle in and out in a mix that seems to carry you so gently. There is a mood that is very unique but familiar feeling here in the production and vocal style. Infernal_Flowers
