REVIEW
We absolutely adored Ouer’s previous release on Dirt Crew, spring 2019’s “Stingray Nebula EP”, so our hopes are naturally sky-high for this belated sequel. As befits their love of warm-sounding analogue hardware and improvised production techniques, lead cut “Homecoming” offers a hugely attractive mixture of loose-but-crunchy breakbeats, chunky bass, layered synthesizer chords and melodies so tuneful you’ll probably end up humming them in the shower. If anything, the deep and rolling cut that follows, “The Long Goodbye”, is arguably even better, in part because it builds attractively towards a suitably glassy-eyed conclusion. To round things off, they go in a deeper and jazzier direction via the ultra-deep haziness of “Morning Routine”, which sounds like it was largely recorded in one take.
