On ‘Good Times’ Moire has pulled together a range of styles and united them under a soporific umbrella. This is an album cloaked in a cotton wool fug of optimistic ambience, fluctuating with intermittent energy to occasionally remind you that it can physically move the spirit, (‘Madgan’, ‘R1’, ‘Telefunk’, ‘Lost In Pacific’), even if the majority of its dynamic resides in the cognitive back of beyond. The unique vocal talents of Demigosh, who doesn’t always so much sing as croon or yawn tunefully, are a defining feature of this collection and help to frame it as occupying some sort of rem netherworld overseen by a dissipated lounge lizard. It’s an album which, given the events of the past year, the tone and timbre feels very appropriate and perfectly in tune with the pervasive mental state necessary to reconfigure the listening experience.
