The Los Angeles producer and vocalist’s debut arrives today on International Anthem. The opening track is a compact 2:15: bright keys, a persistent chime, voice and a bass-led groove produced with 10.4 ROG. The official album page has the direct listen and a $9.99 digital edition.
Bandcamp Daily hears a deep slow pulse beneath boom-bap, wandering bass, synths and romantic piano, with roots in Chicago’s beat scene, Low End Theory, neo-soul and jazz. That puts it near the warmer, more human end of leftfield electronics: layered enough for headphones, rhythmic enough not to become tasteful fog. The caveat is tonal rather than technical—the record’s language of healing and intention is sincere and may be sweeter than listeners seeking darker material would prefer. “Open Your Eyes” is a low-cost test.
