minimal techno that suspends you in air. barker's unique sound design, driven by
translucent synths and absent a kick drum, creates a weightlessness that feels revelatory.
there's a clarity to these tracks that leaves you in a state of contemplation, deeply felt
emotions you can't quite explain. a stunning debut lp |

Ambient music gone maximalist, drowning in an ocean of strings. A techno pulse as a heartbeat,
sustaining the most lavish forest. Generous to both active and passive listening: alternating between
them enhances the trance-like state. Instantly gratifying yet delightfully inscrutable: each listen pulls
you closer/further from comprehension. A masterpiece. |

| Jessie Ware What's Your Pleasure? |
A masterclass in dance-pop. Jessie Ware delivers all hits with a set of sensual, house-
driven numbers; the swooning majesty of the opener sets the stage for a deep dive into
r&b, freestyle and soul, executed with a simmering confidence. Unlike a certain artist
who got physical this year, Ware brings charisma to her disco revivalism. Pop record to
beat in 2020. |
