Delicate Noise - Filmezza (2009)

Getting to the end of this week, I really ran out of good releases I felt like writing about... so I apologize for doing 2 new albums by really obscure electronica bands back to back like this. But, I digress. Delicate Noise is some spaced out, trippy ambient electronica. Filmezza makes heavy use of vintage synths and the effects they offered, particularly a lot of messing around with cutoff and echo while playing. They also use really wierd alien volices a lot; the only regular voices on the album are the occasional use of children talking, like in Butterfly Envy where you hear a kid saying "It's a butterfly!" or Roundlake Beach where one can hear a running stream and lots of kids talking while spacey, ambient music plays over top. Pheromone has the alien voices throughout, and combines a very simple keyboard melody with glitch sounds. Oh yeah, they also use a lot of every day sound samples, like the running stream, and the sound of a summer night in the song We Like Mercury. The song also has a parent talking to a child with extremely heavy echo, and a very simple synthesizer background. Title track Filmezza actually has a very little bit of jazz influence on the bass part in the beginning, but moves on to a simple spacey ambient track. Overall, nothing too impressive, but worth a listen if you're bored or you want some slightly trippy background ambient music you aren't gonna pay too much attention to anyway.
