Beautiful synthetic minimalism and electrifying jazz abstractions.

Botany - Raw Light II (Western Winyl, January 20, 2017)
I know little about Spencer Stephenson aka Botany, producer and musician from Austin, Texas, but his work certainly seems interesting and worthy of attention: pieces of minimalist ambient that, without any pomp but rather in a subtle way, weave around and then through the ears, going straight to the listener's heart ("No Head", "Tenth", "Minuses"). Without underestimating the impact of a certain danceable groove and glitchy sounds and effects that are typically trance-like ("Crowd Nothings", "Yon", "Wednesday Night", "Tetherball"). Within "Raw Light II", recorded and released as an appendix to the album that came out in 2015, all these elements are present, but the soul component also stands out ("Lo, Hi", "Janis Joplin" or world music ("The Strangeways") which I personally find exhilarating. Truly a beautiful album.
