Review:
Dan Snaith has always been a brilliant producer capable of sidestepping conventions, as his work under the Caribou and Manitoba guises demonstrates. In recent times, he's shifted emphasis towards more clubby (but admittedly still thrillingly inventive) dancefloor shapes under the Daphni guise. This new single for Amazing Sounds is one of Snaith's best Daphni compositions yet, an achingly evocative chunk of crackly techno built on his trademark loose, organic drums, droning kraut melodies and autumnal atmospherics. The accompanying Margot remix is excellent, too, all off-kilter rhythms, midnight piano and warped bleep melodies. Highly recommended.
