Anything For Now is a small but loaded taste of Corduroi’s whimsical, intricate, and synthesized electro-pop. This six-track EP is a brew of manipulated vocals and chopped samples of an endless world of instruments, which have been mixed and stirred to produce arrangements on par with the very best electronic producers. "Crustacean" kicks things off with gorgeously chopped synth pads and a playful melody. “Like Gentle Giants” channels a lush dreamscape with an acoustic guitar that seems to morph into electric piano, minimal feel, and soft vocals. "Monk's Muse" twists and chops the synths and vocals until you're not sure which way you're spinning. “All Ways” is a fanciful R&B reworking that uses elements of forty years worth of electronic production and sound design. “Bangarangarang” and "My Dear" both fuse the past with the future, as the album's closer relishes in deep-house bleeps and female vocal samples, while never mistaking that the year is 2011. Corduroi's elaborate compositional mind is on full display with Anything For Now, and is a sign of a producer already locking in his own voice.
