Korean–Canadian Jessica Cho packs a lot into her 28 minutes here, incorporating elements of jungle, footwork, techno, jazz, glitch, hip-hop, and who know what else into nine thrilling blasts of straight-up ravey fun. If I say that the opening track reminded me at various times of everything from S’Express to Octo Octa, that might give you a flavour. This record is brimming over with catchy melodies, propulsive beats, and the kind of cut-up vocals that are catnip to me, stitched together with impeccable production. What an absolute joy.
I bought this from the artist’s Bandcamp page.
