M83 imagined an 80's that never was, voiced by a music that never really existed. Dixon takes that a step further. His soundtrack drips with menace and romance, with the dark, naive thrill of being young in an uncertain world, full of possibility and fear, pulling hard from M83, and from Kraftwerk's warmest moments, packing every track with blistering, blossoming, analog texture.
The pacing's slow, completionist. This's no Fight Club. It doesn't quite capture the atmosphere, the feel. But the sound's just too sweet to ignore, too packed with endaround pathos, every tone knowing the frequency-key to your heart's darkest maybes 4/5
