Цитата:
A remarkable release that more than delivers on the promise of Run_Return's 7-inch single Animals Are Beautiful People, the Oakland trio's Metro North deftly merges tight drum programming, squelchy synths, and electronic textures with guitars, vibes, bass, and drums in eighteen future-jazz tracks. The group's sound ranges widely, with songs encompassing post-rock, dub, jazz, funk, and melodic electronica, sometimes within the span of a single song. Remote Sensing exemplifies the music's mercurial character, with mechano synth patterns surreptitiously morphing into acoustic guitar and then banjo picking. Similarly, Our Pleasure to Serve You commingles radical edits and drum programming with electric piano and acoustic drums before vanishing in a free-form haze of animal noise at its close.
not all that pretentious as the review would suggest.
instead, it's one of the few "background" albums that actually caught my attention.
