Josh Presseisen's fourth album is by far the most accessible to date from the Boston producer, retaining the skittishness and easy on the ear values of the curiously obtuse wild-animals-from-space concept of his preceding Wolves Hollow long-player, but with a much rounder sound than previous full-length outings. The Aphex influences are again evident throughout the album, but are less obvious, spun through arrangements that occasionally twitch in unexpected directions. The jittery high speed percussion of "Indigo Florist" captures the spirit of the whole album with these beats, which would trounce everything around them in any other setting, finding themselves countered by a track which wanders along at its own pace, the ebb and flow dictated by the sonic tide of the bassline. Well thought out and emotional electronic music.On Supermogadon, there's not really an overt concept binding all the tracks together, but if I had to say, it sounds like it's about the future and if the cover art is any indication, this could very well be a great soundtrack to some yet unmade sci-fi movie. There are dancy tracks, and some downtempo ones as well, but Marumari is once again on top of the game.
The release starts off with "Rocket Summer," and after some countdown-like chirps and fly-by sound, the track leaps into motion under the power of a thick, rolling beat. With the addition of a couple samples thrown in and twisted, it's a nice slab of futuristic funk that starts the album out on a solid foot. After a teasing, short second track, there are a couple tracks that make great use of cut-up vocal samples for differing effect. Coming on the heels of an almost ethereal beginning, "Baby M" layers almost chattering vocals over a chunky beat while "The Golden People" cranks up the BPMs a bit and adds some shimmering sounds under more disembodied vocals.
