I read some review that, curtly, said the first three tracks on this album were good, but then it lost its way. I concede it was not wrong.
The key is that those first three tracks weave in a vocal sample.
That backbone, plus some excellent other-wise mixing tricks, on this uncharacteristic-from-ex-Caribou-nee-Manitoba solo album, makes for the real highlights. It gives those loops some body, something to groove to. Without that backbone the remaining tracks (with a remaining grace concession to the 4th track) just don't have enough substance.
Dude's got talent. This is his first-ish go in this direction. Seeds of promise here, but a meager early harvest yield
3/5
