#2395 El Huervo - Vandereer

A remarkably cohesive, subtly fascinating album, moving between cratedigger atmospherics, full on dancable groovemaking, and dusty cinematic sweep. But it all flows, with big sky ambiance and the momentum of half-remembered roadtrip radio pulling you deeper into the desert. Pure tones, narrative snippets, and cracked-vinyl beats lay landscapes for all manner of sounds - between this and the Avalanches album, it's been a banner year for spare-parts sonic worldmaking 4.5/5
