Kicking off with some minimal yet fluid drums and bass - both from the man himself, that anchor the ambient atmospherics, the low gravity sax of Julien Fillion drifts in from a happy place

Cowley gets the ball rolling on “Tear” with some minimal, somehow distant keys that set a melancholic tone for the prompt arrival of Tsupryk’s achingly beautiful violin

he’s also got a fondness for fusing pan-Latin sounds with star gazing electronica, and for this new LP on the reliable Shika Shika label he’s marshalled quite the ensemble, made them some sandwiches and packed them off on a cosmic cruise.

Hooky refrains and nu-disco basslines eschewed for precision sound design, higher sonic purpose and an altogether more astral approach
