► When you use too many ingredients, the risk is that you don’t feel anything. This doesn’t happen here. The meeting between different elements and styles (electronic, jazz, post-rock) is both fluid and jagged, spacious and constricting. We find ourselves drunk on a drifting boat, but alive and curious. A really noteworthy work.
