Having a moment with this song and video by Jay Watson of Tame Impala fame.

Per the spinning top website:

"The self-prophesising ‘Anesthetized Lesson’ transports the listener to a funk-drenched hyper reality. A diverse group of vocal manipulations and synths materialise around the landscape of the song, which plays with colours and textures that appear blissfully out of reach."

Petite Noir | Damn Good

July 31, 2015

Found Petite Noir on Pitchfork's "Overlooked Records of 2015". If you're in the mood for something more of a chill inducing build and ride through a song, as opposed to the cookie cutter compartmentalized stitchery of radio candy canes, then check out Yannick Iluga's stuff. The video for Chess has gotstobe the best thing ever.
