#2444 Pogo - Weightless

Kid's a genius. Scattershot plunderphonics halfway between John Oswald's unlistenable busyness and Avalanches goodtimes firecracking - unafraid of autotuning everything into melodic shapes beyond their creators' imaginations. Threads of gimmicky sampling (Data & Picard!) are _far_ better than expected, packed with pathos. Exuberant pop gets tuned to blinding dayglo on Cupboard Shaker, and There You Are slingshots past Max Tundra and Skylar Spence into some aspartame taffy beyond, settling into proper instrumental hiphop groovecraft. A wildly inventive, splattering, explosion of light - a week-making delight.

Seriously. Data and Picard saved my life tonight 4.5/5
