FIS: The Blue Quicksand Is Going Now

FIS continues to intrigue and “The Blue Quicksand Is Going Now” is another worthwhile addition to his discography. It may not be the masterpiece we were expecting, but it is convincing nonetheless.

Heathered Pearls: Body Complex

From start to finish, “Body Complex” is a work of art, full of imperfections and beauty, to be digested and viewed from differing angles. **ALBUM PREMIERE**

Lifted: 1

Lifted’s debut is the rare album, which feels purely next-level, like music beamed from an idealised future. And on its best moments, like Mint or the sparkling chill of closer Medicated Yoga, that future is very jazzy indeed.

Domenique Dumont: Comme Ça

The cocktail of freshness and naiveté of Domenique Dumont’s Comme Ça makes for the exact type of album that you’ll keep getting back out for your own pleasure and share around like a little personal treasure that only the most deserving should know about.

Ptaki: Przelot

The duo blend popular Polish songs from the ’70-80s together with contemporary rhythms like the trappy hats and hipopisms of Za Daleki Sen and the result is equal in functional bizarreness to the unlikelihood of the encounter.

Herbert: The Shakes

The Shakes is evidence that Herbert’s creative juices are still flowing at a great pace and the twilight of his career could be some way away. Some may disregard it for it’s zealous flirtations with mainstream pop, but this would be foolish as his sonic vitality will always overpower and turn this supposed weakness into a strength.

submerse: Stay Home

Stay Home ups the tempo ante from submerse’s previous release “Slow Waves”…Where Slow Waves dwelt on reminiscence, Stay Home synthesizes a hybrid of this style, juxtaposing a hip-hop instrumental back bone with busy urban life.

Jam City: Dream A Garden

The reserve and normality of Dream A Garden render it an unsatisfying outer by-product of Jam City’s inner shift. The ideas are fresh and daunting but ask this incredibly talented artist to further shape them into a body of cohesive new aesthetics.
