Proper restless soul from the always reliable J. Albert, coming off like the US answer to Actress in a richly satisfying new full-length.
Albert explores his strengths with coherent versatility and diversity across 12 tracks that recall the expressive, inventive use of texture and groove found in Actress albums as much as the elusive swerve of Michael J. Blood, or a slightly more collected Madteo, subtly done and bang on the money for headphone immersion.
Ayyye, we’d go as far to say this is J. Albert’s strongest, definitive body of work, pairing his flyaway soul vocals with sprung drum knocks and thizzing textures at their best. ‘Oof’ introduces the set with a supremely warm and crisp flush of pads and brukken beats - it’s a real pleasure to follow his logic unrevealing between the tinpot footwork flex of ‘Play Tough’, thru the smoke curl dynamics of ‘Dysmrph’ and striking, mutant jungle-soul flow of ‘Say Something’ like AceMo meets Rainy Miller.
Trust it’s one you need to get acquainted with, pronto.
