100% Silk is the brand new, hugely promising sister label to underground heroes Not Not Fun. Adopting a cooler, sexier stance than its older brother, the label looks intent on making you dance to deliciously psyched beats - the first coming from Tornoto's The Deeep. 'Muddy Tracks' is taken from their recent 'Life Light' cassette and features lead singer Isla Craig drifting like a barefoot Beth Gibbons over crumpled machines rhythms straight from the LA Vampires handbook. Over the course of these ten minutes it's not quite clear whether to sit crosslegged and meditate, or levitate in the middle of the dancefloor, but either way it's a good feeling. Fellow Toronto resident Brandon Hocura's Grand Am Version dubs the vocals into a simmering silicon soup full of chirruping, glistening synths and a killer cowbell line right out of a Southport weekender circa 1987, kinda like Greg Wilson on mescaline, not ecstacy, while Guy Dallas does some trippy but tongue-in-cheek ethno acid rub from the deeepest recesses of the chill out room.
