Rico Puestel follows a string of EPs on Harthouse with this diverse long player. "Affection" kick starts the release in celebratory mode with uplifting vocals unfolding over an undulating house groove and niggling percussion. In contrast, "Four Fifty-Six" sees him venture down a more linear path. Underpinned by a lean, rolling groove and niggling percussion, it builds to a noisy crescendo.
In other instances, Puestel channels more euphoric sensibilities: the energetic, building synths on "Eichwiesen" wouldn't sound out of place in Dominik Eulberg's catalogue. Irrespective of the approach, his assured production style means that no matter whether he's dropping hypnotic chuggers like "That Day In June" or the ambient soundscapes of "This Is The Water", each track is 100% Puestel.
