Minho Park

By far their silliest (a BMO feature???) and also their least cohesive album yet.

That being said, their musicianship and polyrhythmic swagger is on full display, as always. I'll probably end up gravitating towards a few songs on this record instead of ripping it all the way through like I do with their other albums. So stoked to see Cinnamon Temple on this thing after hearing it live for years.

As with all of his records, I'm more drawn towards the tracks with ambitious non-hip-hop inspired production that draws on genres from disco to latin groove.

The hour+ track list doesn't hold my attention all the way through but I cannot deny that Kaytranada continues to rip when it counts.

The 19th record from these SF legends. I cannot say that I have listened to all 19, because I haven't, and I'm sure there are some absolute stinkers in the catalog due to large sample size and Gaussian distribution, but this one absolutely hits. Shoegazey math rocky hyper punk goodness. And this one is entirely in Japanese.

back to the basics. they know what they are and kill it every time. Todavía viva might be my favorite groove they’ve ever made tbh
