Rich Juzwiak · 06/06/12 04:55PMToday's Song: Dntel 'Puma'
Rich Juzwiak · 06/06/12 04:25PMThe 2001 album from Jimmy Tamborello's Dntel, Life Is Full of Possibilities, helped define IDM or "intelligent dance music." The subgenre was kind of an indie force in the early part of last decade, although everyone always agreed at how stupid the name was. Tamborello's latest, Aimlessness, is out this week and it's not a major leap from what he was doing over 10 years ago, though it is at least a few bounds away from his poppier work with Ben Gibbard as the Postal Service. Mike Powell has a great breakdown of what a difference a decade makes in his review of Aimlessness on Pitchfork. Basically, Aimlessness is what happens when time catches up with futurism. The result is kind of sleepy, kind of a nonevent, but nice like a worn-in sweatshirt. Of all that is offered, "Puma" is the nicest.
