| The Santa Monica-based electronic producer known as Daedelus is a tough one to pin down. His career began with a bang in 2002, when he dropped his critically acclaimed debut album, Invention. Since then, Daedelus has launched an album a year, experimented with hip-hop and collaborated with artists such as MF Doom and Prefuse 73. With his newest release, Denies the Day's Demise, Daedelus offers up 50 minutes of such creativity and originality, it's almost baffling. Sandwiched between the brash, racing "At My Heels" and the mellow sunset lullaby "Viva Vida" are 13 tracks of churning samples and sounds layered over a virtual army of experimental beats. Yet instead of bombarding listeners with an abstract jungle of noise, Daedelus weaves his sounds into an intricate sonic tapestry that pleases the ears while stimulating the brain and defying classification. - Urb |
