MOIRE レコード& CD

Review: Berlin by way of Los Angeles' Avenue 66 recently served up the latest album by enigmatic artist Moire who has appeared on esteemed imprints such as Hypercolour, Ghostly International, Werk Discs and Ninja Tune. The Circuitry LP was a diverse affair, and the array of remixers on this EP reflects its style of eclecticism. Whether it's the legendary Herbert's deep and melancholic dub of 'Circuit 15' or Tolouse Low Trax's woozy rendition of 'Circuit 07' on the first side, to the typically dusty twilight vibes of Lowtec's remix of 'Circuit 04' and Dial co-head Lawrence's understated late-night perspective of 'Circuit 18' - it certainly does make a complementary addendum to the album.

Review: It's been a fair while since we heard from Moire. He emerged on a wave of acclaimed with experimental lo-fi sounds on labels like Werk Discs, an album for Hypercolour colour in early 2021 and one for Ghostly in 2017. Now he is back with more of his mystic and intriguing sound designs, dreamy melodies and mid-tempo drums. Circuits on Avenue 66 is an album to sink deep into and enjoy the fuzzy patterns, melancholic pads and introspective atmospheres Moire offers up. It is an album of emotional depth, real intrigue and a deftness of touch that makes it as intriguing as it is otherworldly.
