Ran myself an extra bath tonight to listen to this.
It’s fantastic!
Despite a plethera of pleasingly wonky and playful lead lines you’ve been smart and brave enough to keep the core melodies and beats minimal and slowly evolving and let the modulations and textures set the scene.
It’s very cohesive too which is a big achievement considering the amount of out there sounds you are layering at times.
I was going to say that Xanthe Acid Youth was my favourite with it’s disarmingly sweet pulsing melody right until I heard Some People Just Never Know When To Leave which is phenomenal and I think your best work to date. I love that funky groove you’ve created with the offbeat synth stabs and the almost sleazy and drunk lead line, just such a great combination of sounds that really sing together. Those little hi hat trills really make total use of the space left in the wake of everything too, very economical.
Of course it hardly needs to be said but the production is immaculate and everything really snaps.
Thank you so much for creating and sharing this!
