Sublime nostalgia, in topic and tone – a lo-fi organic soft-jazz arrangement and lush, intimate vocals resounding together. Noah Milanovi and his band capture a moment of warm reflection and gratitude, for the wonderfully ambient los discos de los 70.
“The records from the ’70s play
When they’re together
The needle becomes a distant memory
The balcony overlooks the quiet blue city
“Could it stay like this forever?” he asks”.
Built around a lo-fi drum line and riding bass, subtle jazz-funk guitar pattern and shoegazey keys, there’s a muggy warmth to the arrangement of Los Discos de los 70, which instantly takes you back to simpler days. Then we get Noah’s leading voice, a soulful addition, to guide us through these universal reflections on time’s past.
As the song progresses, the arrangement gathers colour, subtle energy, and the band join in for these beautifully harmonised resolves. The jazz optimism peaks, envelopes its audience, uplifts them on the shorter lyrical refrain and pause, before returning to the intoxicating shoulder-sway of the verses.
Dedicated to the impact and comfort of 70’s soul and film music, los discos de los 70 is a fine reminder of the talent and creative thought process of Dutch-Argentinian artist Noah Milanovi. His cultural depth is matched by his breadth of musical knowledge and ability, and this single shines rightful yet also refreshingly humble light on that truth.
