According to the internet’s best site for quick information, Wikipedia, Rayon is ” a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber. It is made from purified cellulose, primarily from wood pulp, which is chemically converted into a soluble compound,” which adds a strange synthetic quality to a track that otherwise feels so eloquent and natural.
The Ninja Tune backed song features cascading synths that tumble like waterfall into a sampled female vocals that blend together smoothly. Much like how rayon is natural material formed into something human-made, the obviously electronic machines have brought together both natural sounds (vocals) to mesh perfectly with the mechanically created ones.
Letherette’s upcoming EP Refresh, which features this track, will be out on February 4th. Pre-order now via Ninjashop.
