Huggable Dust

Okay's Marty Anderson writes and performs his songs with a uniquely kaleidoscopic approach of mixing repetition and variation. Multi-layered and baroque, dense layers of technological and organic sounds fizzle under gentle pop melodies. The lyrics are meditative and repetitive, a bit like mantras, deceptively simple, but like the music, prone to change when you're not looking. RIYL: Joanna Newsom, Sparklehorse.
