#1791 Bassnectar - Into the Sun

Bassnectar's got that BASS right in the name. And that big dumb

BWWWOOOOOOBBB-BB-BB-BBBB

is still basecamp alpha.

But Ashton does his darndest to take day trips into the wasteland, whipping up some Prefuse choppery and Lemon Jelly sunniness and blinding M83 gigantism. Every song got it's angle, and you've mostly got its trajectory by the 4th bar or so and the gearchanges leave the album flow a little uneven - I'm reminded of Chemical Brothers circa Surrender - but it's more kaleidoscopic than you might expect from a one-dimensional sound this far down the line. It's fun watching the scouts span the space 3.5/5
