Bleep

On Body Complex Heathered Pearls (aka Ghostly head of A&R Jakub Alexander) has set out to capture that feeling of 7 AM trips home after a night at a rave and across the ten tracks here he comes very close to capturing that vibe perfectly. Opening with the soft pads of Cast in Lemon & Sand the LP slowly lifts off before the seductive ambient house Sunken Living Area brings the drums into place. The dreamlike haze of that post-club 7 AM walk /first/last bus / taxi ride home perfectly continues into the dub house Interior Architecture Software where AI synths and half-heard drums snake through the back of the sound field. Personal Kiosk takes things into a more slinky euphoric territory while Holographic Lodge ends the first half of the album on an 8 AM tired-eyes smudged number. LP highlight Abandoned Mall Utopia picks up the pace with a reverb-drenched euphoric house shuffler while the rest of the album drifts between half awake/half asleep drone excursions and last-tune-of-the-night up for it peaks. A fine continuation of the linage of post-party explorative electronic albums from Bytes to Amber and beyond. Turn on and fall into the half-awake dreamlike glaze Body Complex will paint across everything around you.
