| The word 'eclectic' has its overuse decried almost as often as the term itself is wrongly employed. LA-based producer Daedelus, however, fits within the word's remit as snugly as a mitt in a patchwork mitten. On this follow-up to 05's splendid Exquisite Corpse he further mangles the organic folktronica templates employed by the likes of Four Tet, using hip-hop sensibilities and near-jungle bass bursts, then shoehorning in sporadic cartoon-style samples for good measure. Relax for a second and the woozy sunset atmosphere combines with craftily applied beats to commit mutiny within all your own senses. The carefree genre-skipping proves crucial: as per the instrumental majority of Denies The Day's Demise, words aren't wholly appropriate. Only repeated listens will do Daedelus justice. - Rocksound |
