| 3.5 great | Alabaster Jones | November 3rd 16 |
Aside from a few features on projects from Sadistik, Blue Sky Black Death, Dark Time Sunshine, and Deniro Farrar, I hadn't heard anything from Child Actor before A Perfect Cloud, and those features were really just Natalie Plaza's voice. Here, on can clearly hear how important Max Heath's production is to their sound, taking hip-hop rhythms, mixing them influences from art pop, dream pop, and psychedelic pop, and tuning them down into a minimal, yet charming and engaging concoction. There are moments of relative bombast within this, as well as moments of melancholy. Natalie Plaza is a great vocalist, not just in that she can hold a tune, but that there's something genuinely mesmerizing about her voice that one cannot place their finger on. Overall, the album is a pretty solid affair with one clear standout in "Cold Water". There are a couple of duds in the middle of the tracklist, but these are counteracted by a strong second half. It's a pretty great indie pop record with a trove of intricacies, so if that sounds like it'll float your boat, enjoy.
