Having spent the last few years quietly building his reputation via decent EPs for ESP Institute, Saft and Keep it Zen, Ian Blevins has had a relatively quiet 2017. This outing on Dave Harvey’s Futureboogie Recordings label is only his second release of the year. It is, though, rather good, with Blevins gleefully sprinting between acid-flecked, Italo-disco inspired Balearic house (tidy opener “Round Trip”), rush inducing, organ and acid-driven positivity (“Roland’s Rat”) and rolling, slow-building late night goodness (the bubbly melodies and elongated chords of “Can You Count My Dream”). The obligatory remix is provided by Lobster Theremin and Uncanny Valley regular Panthera Krause, whose Moroder-on-happy tablets version of “Round Trip” is a warm, hazy and life-affirming delight.
