REVIEWS
SERIOUSLY, this record is fucking good, flawless, almost, and hard to stop listening to.
SBTRKT is ultimately a colorful and highly enjoyable future-pop record, an extension of bass culture but not indebted to it.
In the space of just over half an hour it has been possible to experience a full gamut of feelings, our sympathies firmly siding with our nameless host.
It maintains an ever-so-perfect pace throughout, fraught with big beats, catchy choruses, and smooth textures, making it one of this year’s finest debuts by far.
Although there’s nothing spectacular or innovative here, it has to be difficult to simultaneously have a foot in a variety of styles while constructing something that’s this easy to listen to.
A lot of the material here, whilst well produced and well written, is sadly not outstanding enough to challenge the firmly seated royalty of UK dance music just yet.
