J Alvarez At Juno Download

Review: Alex Jones and Cedric Maison's Hypercolour imprint has been on fire of late, dropping a succession of hard-to-pigeonhole bombs. This EP from J Alvarez is another winner. Lead cut "7 Mile Bridge" - a kind of woozy fusion of garage revivalism and cocaine house chic - is arguably the highlight, but there's plenty more to enjoy. Check, for example, the loose chord changes and constantly-evolving percussion of "Take", or the booming late night bass-propelled oddness of "Ship Canal" - something akin to being dropped into a canal headfirst while off your nut. The silky, garage-inclined "Sin Nombre" is pretty tasty, too.
