#1426 Javelin - Canyon Candy

A far, lonesome cry from the pop eccentricities of Hi Beams - here's a dusty, atmospheric DJ record, with shades of The KLF's Chill Out; Endtroducing from beyond the sunset. The flow's brilliant, the tone deep as night.

The only shame is that Javelin doesn't have the chops to really let this thing ride. The approach they've laid out doesn't sound like it'd stretch beyond these little 2-minute loopers without getting boring, and an album like this begs to go on for about triple its 24 minute runtime - it's a sound you want to get lost in, but you wake up just as things are getting gone 3.5/5
