Following the Middle-Eastern-tinged R&B of 2010’s
Palinopsia,
d’Eon’s continuous, circular suite addresses reliance on technology through lyrical content and sonic allusion. He simultaneously incorporates elements of footwork and new jack swing, but surprises the listener with strange forays into bygone genres such as UK drum and bass and trip hop.
Harnessing the dark energy of her sophomore album
Halfaxa with the shimmering dream pop of
Geidi Primes,
Grimes’s side represents a synthesis of these two sonic personalities. Displaying a level of clarity and craftsmanship heretofore unseen in her releases, she presents a stunning new collection of ethereal dreamscapes that expand her creative palette without compromising the spectral presence she is known for.
