Balam Acab - Wander / Wonder
So every song from the album has been uploaded to Youtube if anyone is keen to give it a listen. I gave it a run through last night and suffice to say it sounds beautiful, fragile, dark and melancholic. He seems to be really interested in organic textures and the whole thing is expertly produced affording clarity to each component while maintaining a spacious mix.
For lack of great knowledge in this genre, I'd cite touchstones such as Burial, Four Tet, Flying Lotus and The Avalanches. I'm sure many of you will be able to name more accurate references.
And just in case anyone feels indignant about my apparent non-support of a young talented artist: I've already committed to buying the album.
