Review: Like his fellow Permanent Vacation co-founder Benjamin Frohlich, Tom "TB" Bioly has devoted more time in recent years to growing his production career. His 2019 debut album, Romance, was quietly impressive, and this follow-up EP - his first new material in two years - is similarly well-made and packed with interesting ideas. Opener 'New You' is wonderfully deep, warming and melodious, with broken beats replacing his usual house and electronic disco grooves. He returns to more familiar territory on spooky late-night house number 'Praline' - all rumbling sub-bass, clandestine synth riffs and crunchy drums - before delving into ambient-not-ambient territory on gorgeous IDM cut 'Zzz'.
