Bleep

Seattle based maker Jeff Mcillwain returned to the scene ten years after he started with this long awaited record. Perhaps his poppiest to date, A Certain Distance is punctuated by Cocteau Twins-style vocals swimming through the humid, aqua-sonic atmospheres, warm synth-melodies bursting through the slipstream and fidgety microhouse drum programming ticking things over and over. An assured, often very lovely release.
