A little-known, yet prolific, producer out of Maryland, Terracotta Blue has been making easily accessible and readily enjoyable trip-hop for about four years now, releasing a bevy of LP's, EP's, and exclusive singles during that time. His latest work, ALIUS, is a quite short affair, lasting only about nineteen minutes. Yet, during that time, he still manages to give you a nice array of sounds, peaking at the bookends of the record. The middle three tracks don't do much at all unfortunately, but the tracks preceding and succeeding them are really nice, especially opener "The Resolution", which makes use of a hard-hitting beat and lovely synths. It's short, but sweet, so if you're looking for some solid, enjoyable trip-hop to help start off your year, this has you covered.
