Vase At Juno Download

Review: Marking the second release on Jacques Greene's label, Holographic comes on instantly like a psychedelic indie rock take on electronica. There's an impressive diversity to the three tracks on this EP, from the beatless dream-pop of "Vitamin D" to the homespun funk of "Purple City", but the unifying factor is the fuzzed-out quality to every sound. Crumbly synth tones sound like they've sat out in the sun too long, while the beats feel like they're being played on the decking of a rickety beach shack south east of nowhere. With the season nearly upon us, it's the perfect time to let a little Arclight into your life.

Review: Bringing his melodically wholesome vibes to Vase, ace Canadian producer Jacques Greene has crafted an all-out future pop cut in the shape of "Flatline". Ango provides some wholly smooth crooning over the track, making this a jam primed for chart consumption. Elsewhere a diverse selection of grooves abound, from the stripped UK funky stylings of "These Days" to the more streamlined and mildly trancey "Clark". "Arrow" breaks things up nicely with a shuffled beat and mournful keys pitched just right to tug at the heartstrings. Highly recommended.
