Track Of The Day: Abacus - We Cookin' Now (Guidance)

 


So many incredible releases on Guidance. A label that, after the prevalence of Casual and Relief, went even deeper into the Chicago sound. That’s not to say all its artists came from the windy city. Austin Bascom, aka Abacus, is from Toronto and is arguably responsible for more than one of the label’s standout releases. ‘We Cookin’ Now’ is such a track. Immediately plunging the listener into a percussive dream state, it manages to be both deep and intensely visceral at the same time. No easy feat. This is the second track I’ve featured from this EP, ‘Opinion Rated ‘R’’ , was a while back. And aI’d put them all up if it didn’t look more like promotion than good taste. I mean just the chord change alone in this track is worth shelling out for. It comes just before the 3:30 mark.
