Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to this outstanding release. Jake Mandell's latest full length is on Carpark, and it's quite good. Jake has taken his solid programming skills and experimental tendencies and reigned them into slightly poppier arrangements and tracks of perfect length. No, he hasn't gone off the pop deep end, he's just taken some of the hooks and catchiness of recent "poppy idm" and Carpark labelmate Marumari and incorporated it into his distinct sound and more 'advanced' structures. Plus, it comes with a brilliant little essay by Mandell on how he has decided to embrace his unnatural love of the computer as instrument, and an amazing vector-graphic Pieta inspired cover. I think it drops next month. Way to go Carpark for starting the New Year right!
