Bleep

Nocow’s Avalon is a set of alien soul and techno at once warehouse-ready and weirdly intimate. There are moments on tracks like ‘Never Leave Me’ and Avalon’s title number that bring to mind DMX Krew’s Nu Romantix as reimagined by, say, the Innervisions crew - and the end result comes off almost like a more club-ready take on the sound of Ecco2K and Yung Lean. Elsewhere on Avalon we get sultry, trance-indebted, mysterious DJ tools like ‘Back On’. A beguiling record.
