Some good vibes to peruse here. Bookended by break beats and all; ‘both ’Bronze Teeth’ and ‘Softest Moon’ dabble in the undulating art, the former more intensely than the other. Pick sides, everyone’s a winner. There’s a softer centre though, with the Detroit-inflected ‘Cross Antennae’ and the mid nineties London warehouse meanderings of ‘Magic Pebbles’; each being a retro future soundtrack to an interstellar journey. There’s a sense of optimism implicit within this release which endears it to the listener, but it’s got a militaristic metre in parts: (‘Bronze Teeth’ and ‘Magic Pebbles’) which occasionally gives it a tougher feel. Wonderfully balanced too.
