Bit-Phalanx Music (PRAQ!, Earth Is Flat) present the latest record from alt-pop savant Derek Piotr. The artist’s seventh studio album deftly walks the tightrope between the pop and the avant-garde in a manner that recalls the best of Bjork and Dirty Projectors. Using his own voice as the primary ore, Piotr uses a variety of processing techniques to wring out a huge range of sounds and textures. These are subsequently wedded to nimble beat-patterning, the end result being some highly original songs. Don’t fear, the album remains accessible despite its desire to innovate - one will find shades of T-Pain on ‘Tonic/You Move’, grime on ‘Light’ and juke on ‘Hear You’.
