Post Description

Flica is known to his close friends and family as Euseng Seto and he's made this lovely album on the Mu-Nest label. Inspired and influenced by Japanese instrumental hip-hop but with a more cinematic approach to music, Seto has made something in the realms of easy listening. Now, I know a lot of you would run a mile at the thought of easy listening and I wouldn’t blame you really. From the outset this is all a bit too coffee table, dinner jazz, ambient. Slow hip-hop beats overlaid with semi-classical strings and the odd flutter of acoustic guitar.
20 odd years ago you could’ve filed this alongside acts like Enya, Enigma and if you were a bit cool then maybe Massive Attack. But for some odd reason ‘Weekendary’ keeps me listening till the end and it’s quite good. The hip-hop beats aren’t too over the top, there’s a bit of a glitchy sound to give it a bit more of a credible electronica feel, there’s some nice real instrumentation to it by way of a bass guitar keeping the melody throughout, and the Rhodes piano he uses reminds me of The Album Leaf.
