"...got me in my feelings." : the albums, 2018.


11/of montreal/white is relic/irrealis mood

he fell in love and he got woke. he got "very inspired by the extended dance mixes that people used to make for pop singles back in the ‘80s". the "really intricate and interesting longer versions that wouldn't get played on the radio and could only be heard in the clubs". he was "inspired by James Baldwin’s writings regarding the creation and propagation of a toxic American White identity"; became fascinated with irrealis moods, "the linguistic indicator that something isn't yet reality but does have the potential to become so". and then he returned to the lab. and he cooked. and then he delivered. he came thru with them grooves; sparked a personality flair. he let his newfound wokeness and lust for life, as well as his beating heart, stretch out his slick indie disco and inform his melodies, "breeding a style nobody would wear". he let the songs exceed five and a half plus minutes, with three of them exceeding seven, each pulsating with life throughout, begging you to get up off that thang. he maintained his charm and kept his wit while letting himself become a slave to the rhythms. he spun this dj set and got the party started cause a release is often needed in such trying times, and what better place than the dancefloor to escape and get away? so he came thru with them grooves, woke and in love. no anger, not as fragile as before, with a newfound lust for life, white is relic/irrelais mood is kevin barnes at his finest, with a spring in his step and so many grooves in his heart.
