ABOUT THIS ITEM

The onset of autumn brings this new release from Is It Balearic? Recordings head boys Coyote. Featuring the vocal and lyrical talents of Gavin Gordon, a Madrid-based singer-songwriter (sounding remarkably Steve Mason-like) who has previously worked with Mock & Toof. "Minamoto" is the tale of a 12th century samurai, beautifully laid over a heavily percussive and slightly psychedelic cosmic disco groove.

For the remixes, DJ Steef creates a more dubbed-out, electronic, bouncy synth-heavy affair with a strong bassline and arpeggiated synth lines. On the flip The Hardway Bros concoct a proper mid-tempo acid house workout - perfect for more discerning dancefloors. The third remix from ShoCKs (ESP Institute) taps into the late 80s penchant for baggy Balearic breaks and far eastern global cosmic vibes. There's even just enough wax left for bonus track "El Sueno Oscuro", a beautifully evocative solo flamenco guitar piece by Gavin Gordon.
