SW.: The Album. Review Sketch.



year: 2017 (broader release)

tones of: floating points, todd terje, LNRDCROY, skee mask, shlohmoh


genre samples: jazz, techno, house, electronica, drum'n'bass, ambient


music: sonic, chaotic, impromptu, encircling, busy, layered, improvised, echoing, ecstatic, reverberating, drum saturated, off beat, lively, high frequency, colorful, crowded, energetic


favs: untitled a1, untitled b3, 
untitled d3, untitled a2, untitled c1, untitled d2

notes: apparently SW. never names anything, hence all the generics - from the album name, its tracks, and cover, down to his own moniker. i consider this just an unconventional but principled way of letting the music speak for itself.


score: 8/10
