The not-to-be-missed fourth album by EDM artist James Hinton aka the Range is simultaneously his most retro sounding and forward-looking. Mercury is engrossing.
Mercury cuts to a deeper emotional core than the Range's previous work, and it's easily the producer's most successful release to date.
Affecting electronics that ties in neatly with his past work.
Bicameral - 4/5
1995 - 4/5
Urethane - 3/5
Ricercar - 5/5 ❤
Not for Me - 5/5 ❤
Relegate - 3/5
A Tree Day - 4/5
Balm - 5/5 ❤
Cantor - 3/5
Every Good Thing - 5/5 ❤
Violet - 4/5
His sample-heavy style might not be for everyone, but it's definitely for me personally and this project is a superior, gleaming example of his unique production skills. An elevated take on his previous work that feels more grand and saturated.
Cuando adopta cierta oscuridad y nocturnidad es que le veo un poco más de gusto a algo que suena por lo menos standard.
