SUBJOI レコード& CD

Review: Subjoi delivers a luscious cut of pensive, dusty dance units, topping up his credo as a mainstay on Lost Palms since its inception. A rare example of deep modern melancholia, we're reminded of the sensibility of the adjacent lo-fi house, or Galcher Lustwerk's hip-house hearstring-pullings. 'Know You Better' opts for 2-steppy woodblocks and belly-aching piano chords, with a central vocal line stuttering in a butterflying stasis. We'll leave you to discern the beauty of the ensuing tracks yourself, but we must add that 'Rotary' is our romantic highlight, a space-age breaks lurcher with swelling strings and recondite filtersweeps.
