#3258 Arvo Party - II

The brutalist cityscape of Arvo Party's debut still pulses, but from farther away now. Hiss and static cake everything, as if we've slipped from the present tense into digital artifacts, piecing together what's left. When 37 Degrees cracks open into its euphoric midway point, the beats and synths surge to meet the heart, but they're skipping when they should be looping, some fraction of their frequencies worn away. It's a subtly enchanting effect. A mysterious, textured album with a lot to dig through 3.5/5
