Inspired by the train yard in inner SE Portland, OR the intrepid bubbles’ brings us his second full length electronic album “Commuter”. Straying from the lofi underground sound of his first album, “Commuter” is a groovy, well constructed, and expanding album of synths, drums and bass with well defined sounds and textures. bubbles takes a different approach than the mainstream in this album. On “Commuter” bubbles choose to create it as an entire concept rather than today’s single driven dance floor remixes of old 80’s songs and new hyphy music. Staunchly independent bubbles self releases all his music on his own DIY label bubbles media services, based in Portland, OR. “Commuter” is the story of Bill, your typical full time commuter. Bills day starts as any other, but during his commute to his job out in the country he is secretly drugged in a local market. We follow Bill through the rest of his commute to work, then through his bad trip, his release, and his way back home. Music writer Bob Ham has heard commuter and has this to say... --Commuter is not an album that goes for the easy shot, the sucker punch of instant hooks and melodies made to send your subconscious into convulsive fits. Instead, like the dose that sends the album's protagonist on a physical and psychological journey, it builds slowly, immersing you in layers of image and sound, all comprising an elaborate structure unlike anything you've seen, or in this case heard, before. It is an experience that will linger with you long after the CD has stopped and you have arrived at your destination. Don't ask questions, just take what's been given to you and enjoy the ride. bubbles will make sure you get to where you need to be.—Bob Ham Sonically the album captures a wide variety of electronic subgenres including house, IDM, Techno, and drum and base. What is interesting is the method of seamless blending of the styles into one sound that is begging to be recognized as the “bubbles” sound. If you commute, whether by bike, train, subway, car, or horse “Commuter” is soon to become your soundtrack.
