Media Jon McMillion in Pitchfork
Posted by Eric Grandy on Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 8:24 AM
Seattle electronic artist Jon McMillion's self-titled debut for upstart label Nuearth Kitchen just got an 8.0 review in Pitchfork today from resident techno expert Philip Sherburne. A fine review, but two troubling trends:
1. The front page link to the review still refers to Seattle as "an unlikely locale" for electronic music.
2. Sherburne can't resist the low-hanging food metaphor lead: "If Seattle's Nuearth Kitchen were a restaurant, it would surely belong to the slow-food movement." (Of course, neither could Dave Segal, writing in an article titled Organically Cooking the Dancefloor: "McMillion's music comes across like a gourmet meal composed of the finest organic ingredients compared to the microwaved, fast-food DJ tools that many producers pump out.") All I'm saying is, Nuearth Kitchen better, ah, prep themselves for more of this sort of thing in the future.
