Daily Doses: Kumon Plaza “River Spot” From River Spot Single (2011)

“When I leave, I’ll just disappear. At least until the day I show up, sit in your favorite chair, and pretend I was never gone.”

Having released the beautiful (And free!) LP Cliff in July of 2010. Dylan of Kumon Plaza has since been employing the time honored artistic tradition of doing whatever the hell he feels like under whatever name he feels like, releasing tracks and EP’s as Happy Trendy and Gay Boiz as well as a few other beautiful ambient works that he has since told me will not see the light of day.

While I love all of these projects, it’s great to see him return to the minimalist style that informed his early Kumon Plaza tracks.

“River Spot” lazily coasts about, building on some basic keys with some 606 drums and swirling synth work. It’s a song for drifting along quietly by yourself. Observing without action. 

Lovely.
