Tim Toh At Juno Download

Review: Tim Toh's sound is an overtly confrontational one, taking what should be soft, organic sounds sources and driving them into the red in an approach that sounds like Detroit techno at its most antagonistic, but lashed to a house groove. "Pandemonium" staggers and lurches with ethnic percussion, creating a problem for beat-matchers everywhere. "Supercalifragilistic" is the real treat though, reining things in to create a heavily sliced jam with a jerky key line and nagging vocal chops. It's swung about as wide as possible, but everything is held together by a beautifully meandering line in Rhodes-y blues that belies Toh's musical knack.
