'fuck up everything you can before you plan on slowing down.' there's a mouthful of youthful hubris, originally expressed by a 21-year-old miguel de pedro, a.k.a. kid606. it'd be tempting to use some clich about reflection ('kid606's blood on the tracks!'; 'now it's adult606!') but that's not the case, more than a decade after his first recordings surfaced. 'lost in the game' is a revised focus. everything's been fucked up, and you can create the world's most headphucking fuck-ups with any number of plugins. anyone can be an 'anti-dj' sound artist. mashups have gone to the posh clubs. here de pedro confronts an unlikely new partner - melody. the beats on 'game' don't disintegrate every second bar anymore. the kid could spend the rest of his life playing 'i love the 2000s' to nostalgic audiences, but what the hell kind of creative life is it when you stop evolving at 26? the eccentric song titles are still present, but opener 'godspeed you african american emperor' lays down the new ground rules. distorted organs and snaky arpeggios with a beat that's more there to keep the party going than to piss in the punch. 'game' rolls deep with emotion, too - dig those wordless reflections in the 'it's gonna be all right' chord progressions of 'meeguk so horny.' the most important approach is the direct one, however: 'step into the light you fucking idiot' is a track as concise and direct as its title, with layering psychedelic organs and flute-y synths slapping ears with divine truth.
