Overview
Tom Misch and Yussef Dayes come together to create an album featuring a bold fusion of genres, weaving Jazz, Funk, and Electronica into a lush, experimental soundscape. Misch moves beyond his usual groove-driven aesthetic with the help of drummer Dayes, exploring more abstract and atmospheric territory. The album flows seamlessly, with Misch’s guitar remaining a highlight, offering soulful, warm melodies. However, it doesn’t overshadow the polyrhythmic beats and tight arrangements from Dayes, which carry a number of tunes here. It’s an ambitious record that showcases both artists’ technical prowess and their ability to create music that is both challenging and deeply emotive. Super jazzy, super funky.
Recommended for a vibe-heavy journey into a genre-blurred soundscape.

Album Artwork Rating
8/10
This is the perfect album artwork for this record. It’s a bit trippy and soothing, with a relaxing colour palette. It’s giving lava lamp vibes, and that’s exactly what I want to be around when listening to this album.
