We’re suckers for tropical/Caribbean vibes here at Cool Accidents so our ears pricked up pretty quickly when we heard the opening bars to Tom Misch’s Memory on a recent Soundcloud expedition
Although the track deviates and builds after the initial intro, 5 minutes 40 seconds later and we were sold.
After a quick dig around the net for info we found out Tom is a 19 year old bedroom composer/guitarist/singer/violinist/wunderkind from London…
It’s early stages at the moment but the video below offers a nice little insight into Tom, as he talks about the reason he makes music, why he started his own label and his influences including the late great J Dilla
Based on what we’ve heard so far by way of Tom’s Soundcloud and after getting to know him a bit through the vid above, it seems like all the puzzle pieces are in place and we look forward to hearing what’s next.
Bonus beat - The Dilla influence comes shining through on this feel good flip of Busta Rhymes & Q-Tip’s Ill Vibe
