THE REVIEW

Finally. I thought. Finally, I have an album in my hands again with a cover that speaks for itself, reflecting the musical soul it contains. Darkness, satellites, gravity, the lunar.

From the very first listen, projected into the lunar orbit, with seated beats and the aerodynamics of the frequencies in all the tracks: the sounds can be visualized, especially with a (recommended) headphone listen (repeated).

The basses the darkness, the synths shine with natural light, the vocals are what remains of the human. A tribal look, a support of brass, advice from the past (TV on the Radio or Peter Gabriel it may be) cooked in a spatial oven.

After the first three tracks that shoot from the launch pad into the shadow, Easy arrives to represent the impact on the lunar surface: touches on the beat with essential echoes: not because they're minimized, but because they are indispensable.

Have faith and give it a listen, stop.
