#3227 Kelpe - Ex-Aquarium

Bristling with ideas, but never pushy about it. An electronic, sampled, moving, shifting matrix of soft spines, blurring lines between glitchy and jazzy, soft and hard. Kelpe never quite tip their hand into any particular approach, slinking through house and techno and instrumental hip hop and plunderphonics and rockist leanings and ambient corruptions, some elegant median of Aphex Twin, The Books, and Chemical Brothers circa Surrender. It's all awfully good listening, never ever boring or unpleasant, changing out from under you with transparent grace 4.5/5
