4.0 excellentGene Gol-Jonsson CONTRIBUTOR | December 3rd 21

I am new to Photay's music, so cannot judge this in the larger context of his work. I mostly enjoyed the effort, admiring in particular the creative fusions of instrumental (often acoustic) indie rock influences and sample-based house music. The results are mostly fun and curious, only sometimes falling into mixed unconfident mess.

On his fifth record, Evan Shornstein creates his most powerful record yet. Taking heavy influence from Sufjan Stevens work as well as 90s techno music, he creates a blissful yet somewhat jagged electronic release with a lot of ambient textures, indie aesthetics, and in your face techno style beats. From the intro track ?Existential Celebration? you are greeted to a progressive build of chimes. While other tracks are more in your face. My largest complaint with this record is stylistically these tracks jump all over the place. Also, most of the tracks don?t fully come out, the same issue he had on his previous releases. However, this is still his strongest release yet and a great and short electronic album. Give it a whorl for something a bit different.
