Proof you can make original electronic music in 2017 without resorting to detuned contrarianism. A heady unhitching with shades of house, vaporwave, Lemon Jelly, Avalanches, Jamie XX, and more.
Goddamn it's damned fun, totally unexpected, nauseatingly pretty, a swallowing whirlpool of synths and guitars and vocals autotuned past mattering, the kind of album Daft Punk would be proud to make, I say as the highest compliment.
In fact, let's pause on that. If this was the new Daft Punk album, people would be going NUTS for it. Maybe take that as a sign you better get the fuck on board. The lyrics are basic, sure, but let's remember the poetry that was Around the World and One More Time.

I've been frustrated as hell with music lately. We've been spinning out wheels, stuck as fuck.
This is the kind of shit I'm expecting. I have no idea what's happening, but it's thrilling and strange and danceable, a generous, hooksome, effortless kodacolor blast of utterly enjoyable tones and squiggles and squonks 4.5/5
