Live Review: SOUNDCLOUD WRAP: Tooms

28 May 2014 | 10:39 pm | Alean Penaflor

Tooms aka Sam Gill - of Naysayer & Gilsun - chooses eight tracks for this Soundcloud Wrap.

Melbourne producer Sam Gill is one busy man; one half of NAYSAYER AND GILSUN, solo as KIRA and more recently as TOOMS. Having featured his debut TOOMS EP, Simple Tactics, Gill shares with us some tunes for our SoundCloud Wrap. 

The Simple Tactics EP is a five tracked exploration of musical experimentation and even Gill's supposed artistic outlet for insomnia. An ambient, lush and at times dark record, Gill's SoundCloud Wrap is a brief insight into where he draws his influences from.

LEON VYNEHALL 'Inside The Deku Tree'

"I'm still working this one out in my head. Vynehall has completely outdone himself with Music For The Uninvited. Go have a listen."

ACTRESS 'Grey Over Blue'

"The last Actress LP is one of the better night-drive soundtracks you'll ever hear. Impenetrably dark."

GUERRE 'Deatheat'

 

"Advance Australia Guerre. Hats off."

SUN 'String Quintet Live At Maida Vale'

"I'm a huge fan of the original, but remain completely blown away by this arrangement."

DUKES OF CHUTNEY 'Domino'

"The Dukes were a big influence for Simple Tactics. I really, really love what they did on this EP. It's an absolute barn-burner."

JACQUES RENAULT 'Back To You Remixes'

"This EP was a highlight from a bunch of records I bought while on holiday in the UK recently. It had flown over my head but was (thankfully) thrust into my hands at 3B, Liverpool."

MY BLOODY VALENTINE 'Soon' (ANDREW WEATHERALL Mix)

"This isn't new, but I only heard it today. A very embarrassing but exciting moment for a huge MBV nerd. Geeeee."

TARAVAL 'Gonna Rain'

"This Taraval EP came out on Four Tet's label Text at the same time as the new Percussions 12"s. Both were brilliant, but this track stands out."

'Simple Tactics' is out now and can be purchased here
