New releases last four weeks: Techno (すべて)

Review: Munich-based artist Lindsey Wang aka Polygonia's new album takes the form of 12 vivid dreamscapes and carefully interwoven world-building with dynamic rhythms moving things along. This inter-genre trip explores ambient, deep techno, downtempo and leftfield electronica and though accomplished, balances playfulness with mystery. As a multi-instrumentalist, Wang layers her own voice plus sax, flute, violin and percussion to bring organic warmth to surreal sonic spaces. From propulsive techno cuts like 'Soul Reflections' to ethereal explorations like 'Crystal Valley,' each sound reflects the shifting moods of the subconscious. Emotional, experimental and deeply personal, this is a fine capturing of the strange beauty of the dream world.
