Released

London-via-Leicester-and-Leeds experimental turntablist, sound artist, and producer Nicole Raymond says she wanted this album to sound like a soundtrack to a “Black Blade Runner.” She nailed it. Her previous albums, generally constructed using live turntable manipulation, have all been meticulously crafted but extremely abstract in their ambience. Here, she’s stepped everything up a notch, with high-velocity cosmic rave beats, live jazz instrumentation, and both vocals and lush strings weaving through the more free-form sound-making. It’s still every bit as full of captivating fine detail as before; but here it feels like flying through an overwhelmingly huge city of the future.
