Fur – Black Castles EP

My first post on Phuturelabs and it’s a cracker i think!

Released yesterday (31/10/09) for free legal download on Secret Station Records website, Fur‘s “Black Castles EP” and his upcoming album “Colorful People” is some of the most exciting & interesting electronic music i’ve heard in a while.

Fur aka Bryce Isbell originally hails from Denver, Colorado in the United States. With an incredible 51 releases to his name, and aged only 22, his “Black Castles EP” features ethereal and psychedelic electronic music in the IDM downtempo ambient style. He lists some of his influences as being Michael & Marcus Sandison (aka Scotland‘s finest “Boards of Canada“), Richard D. James (Aphex Twin), Ryuichi Sakamoto & Trevor Wishart.
