Westcoast Goddess is a he apparently. So we can only speculate regarding his choice of moniker, which is more mysterious than his music. The four tracks here were written and produced between 2002 and 2018 and are an “amazing analog take on house music”, which is shorthand for, hidden gems which aren’t so amazing after all. OK, maybe I’m being too harsh. However, saying something is “well produced” is often code for competent but dull. Which is what I think of this package. It’s euphoric at times, driving and dramatic, emotive and bittersweet. All of these adjectives are apt enough to describe the music therein, but you’ve heard it all before and ultimately you may find yourself nodding along to it, dancing as well; but it doesn’t leave it’s mark.
