Review: A late-arriving Volume 3 in this series of EP releases from Joss Moog and Sebastien Guertau AKA Around7's 4th Sign project, and it marks something of a departure from the previous two. Where the previous installments (first out in 2016 and reissued in 2020) boasted six full-length tracks apiece, this one packs just three short skits or sketches, not one of them stretching as far as the 2:30 mark. Still, if the laidback, jazzual vibes of Vols 1 and 2 floated your boat then it's pretty certain you're gonna dig what's on offer here too.
Review: Back in March, Ondule label boss Joss Moog and Sebastien "Around7" Guertau unveiled their 4th Sign project, launching with a fine collection of soul-flecked deepness. This speedy follow-up is every bit as alluring, with the French duo effortlessly floating between a variety of dancefloor moods and tempos. Contrast, for example, the smoky, mid-tempo jazz-house of "The Movement", the string-drenched, sumptuously soulful bump of "Deep Dip", and the near horizontal, slow house head-nod of closer "Lunatique". For those keen on more energetic dancefloor flavours, they've also included a pair of charged-up disco house smashers ("The Right Color", and "Hot Saussice").
Review: 4th Sign is a brand new project featuring Ondule label boss and French Touch revivalist, Joss Moog and Around7 (aka Sebastien Guertau, Parisian producer/musician). This is their debut release under their new moniker and they're very excited about it indeed. "Eloge De La Lenteur" roughly translates into English as 'in praise of slowness', and it's none more apt here, as the vibes stay chilled throughout its six tracks. Highlights include the smoldering loops of opener "Sparks", the frisky chirp-house of "Chelou" and the jazzy, broken beat soul of "Beautiful Friendship". Slow rules!
