My wife and I enjoyed Obadia's EP Where Does Dust Come From? during a friendly game of scrabble (which I won) last weekend. This fun little 7-song EP contains "traces and excerpts from a larger mass of recordings" that film-maker and knob-twiddler (Stéphane) Obadia recorded between April 1998 and December 2003 in Paris and Stockholm. It is filled with the sort of easy-going glitchy folktronica that would fit perfectly in your collection next to your Four Tet or The Books records. It is a warm and pleasant blending of organic/acoustic elements and the childlike electronics reminiscent of DAT Politics or even Mouse on Mars. And while the music certainly occupies the same territory as scores of other artists', Obadia incorporates a playfulness that makes this EP a breath of fresh air. You can download the entire EP for free from Autres Directions.

i want a rematch. you failed to mention that i had some really good words. ;)
Yeah ... there is no need to point out that you won at scrabble ... unless you normally don't! Personally I find that winning at Scrabble should only be accompanied by a smug face ... and sometimes a little dance too ;)
