Oriol – Night And Day

Debut album release

Oriol Singhji buffs up a tonic of ever-breezing synth funk and twittering broken beats to make you squint and hallucinate enough to divide reality from the weaving of chrome-plated tapestries. The danger of Oriol repeating himself, as he rides synthesizers like a futuristic waterslide, means it’s best to take ‘Night And Day’ as one idyllic tropic. Permanently wearing sunglasses, ‘The Process’ and ‘Kam’ ground slip ‘n’ slide beats amongst a plethora of dream sequences, fluffy clouds and schmoozing in liquid funk paradise. Just steer clear if optimism passes you by or you’re prone to dozing off easily.

7/10
