>> Hi Guys,
>>
>> A few words about this release, for those who didn't hear it yet.
>> This is some kind of a digital privitivism album, glassy/FM tones and
>> physical acoustic percussion playing forefront melodies and drums, whilst
>> the background is illustrated with birds and nature ambiences.
>>
>> Let's have a brief overview.
>>
>> *1. Yelli :* this opening track just nails the overall album tonality —
>> i.e. the aforementioned «digital primitivism».
>> *2. Cocoa* : *nice minimal Larry Heard-like syncopated «tribal» house
>> introspective «Donk» sequence.
>> *3. Palmas* :* my favorite track, due to its unexpectedly pulsating
>> character — reminds me Pink Floyd's More trancey «Main Theme».
>> *4. Honey* :* this Norken-like melancholic track exhibits the most
>> lyrical and touching melody in my opinion.
>> *5. Cape Cira* : *don't know what the title stands for, but this chill
>> out «balearic» track — a good one —, makes the junction between the first —
>> percussive — half of the album, and the more atmospheric second one.
>> *6. Bluefin :* a bit of a Subsonic Park touch i think.
>> *7. In the pines : *another melody-oriented track, played by some
>> sinewave «epiano» ; a sporadic digital choir brings in some «Miami» accents.
>> *8. Happened :* some static noisy pad sprinkled with some highpassed
>> dialogue fragments and discreet bubbly feedbacks — maybe this is just the
>> plane taking you back home ?
>>
>> *(*) 2 to 5 are the standout tracks to me.*
>>
>> Although rRoxymore first comes to mind, i find that these tracks slightly
>> echo Aqua Bassino's EPs if you allow me this comparison, even if these
>> artists don't have much in common. Jason Robertson expressed a much more
>> polite balearism, but both of them eventually share some soothing
>> contemplative «summer vibez». Aqua Bassino was from Scotland by the way,
>> whilst K-Lone is in the UK.
>>
>> If you like euclidean and sinewave-generated naive percussions and
>> islander abstractions, this is for you.
>> And for as pure are they are, these tones do not avoid feelings.
>>
>> For lack of strict IDM, you still might call this an «Intelligent Cafe
>> Del Mar» album.
>> Upon the return from vacation and as the confinement days approach again,
>> this is pretty welcome.
