#M4DMV on An Earful’s Best Of 2018: Electronic
Thank you to An Earful for including Music for the DMVÂ on their Best Electronic Albums of 2018 (along with Eno, the man himself)! An excerpt:
While one would think that relaxing sounds would be the best thing to help survive another license renewal, Kelly uses a variety of shiny textures and bright melodies to instead provide distraction. And there’s plenty of that to be found here, as well as charm, especially in the three tracks classed as Gymnopedies. Best of all, however, is Call My Number, which has an almost comical sense of yearning and absolutely reminds me of that time when the scheduling system crashed at the DMV and I lost my place in line.
Full list here.
