JUICE’s October ’14 Review Roundup
A solid comeback by a utensil, a David Lynch reference of a band, modern retro girl group, royalty, someone we still know, a conceptual artist making pop music, random white dude, and something that’s not EDM (at least).
SBTRKT: Wonder Where We Land
JUICE has long nurtured suspicion that SBTRKT is a reanimated member of an ancient cybernetically-enhanced civilisation.
Spooky Black: Leaving EP
Leaving EP is pleasant as a whole, but nothing memorable really stands out. The kid’s got potential though, we’ll give him that.
FKA twigs: LP1
FKA twigs has forged something invigorating, spectacularly perplexing, and most importantly, apropos to both sides of the industry – aged connoisseurs and casual fans alike.
Adult Jazz: Gist Is
While the shadow of alt-J, Wild Beasts, Dirty Projectors, etcetera loom near, Adult Jazz plays with a guileless joy that is distinct to them.
Ab-Soul: These Days…
Coming from one of the most clever MCs in the game, what’s failed to be delivered in These Days is the clear, conscientious focus of his previous release.
How to Dress Well: “What is This Heart?”
“What is This Heart?” asks a question in quotation marks, suggesting that it is a rhetorical one. Like much of pop, it’s left broad and deliberately ambiguous.
French Kiwi Juice: Take Off
This is the French Kiwi Juice sound. And, what a beautiful sound at that.
