Oh, now this is very nice. They hail from Detroit and do a very good line in sexy downtempo/trip-hop/mellow electronica. This is just what I needed to hear after spending 2 hours on the train after work in London. It's almost entirely instrumental, with a lovely dark retro feel to the keyboards but the incidental sounds bring it bang up to date. Fans of glitch hop will probably like this too, there's so much going on but at no time does it become too fussy. Just the right balance.
I mentioned that they're from Detroit and I must say it surprised me, the attention to detail, the subtlety, minimalism and exquisite layering would have place it in my mind in Germany, one of the Kompakt Records stable for sure, even the great Robag Wruhme himself. The entire album is available for free download too so what's keeping you from giving your ears and brain some much-needed tender loving care?
