Return to the Return (of the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness)
Zeds Dead · Electronic
“Siz davom bo'limini davom ettirdingiz, uni to'lqin oyida chiqardingiz va Chopinni gipnoz lentasi yonida nmunadingiz. Buning eng belgi to'g'ri keladigan narsasi bu qandaydir tarzda ishlaydi.”
Bolalar, siz albumini Return to the Return of the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness deb nomladin, bu bir davom bo'limi davom bilan sarlavha shunday ugnashtirilgan bo'liki uning o'z o'zgarish ro'yxatiga muhtoj. Va keyin siz uni tungi yarim soatda yil eng katta to'lqin oyida ajoyib tarzda tushiradingiz, Red Rocks sayohatiga vaqtlashtirilgan, chunki hech narsa jiddiy bass musiqasini astrolog-inti chiqarish strategiyasiga kabi aytmaydi. Sally o'z ko'zini yumashtiradi va, xira, shuningdek, bosh chayqaydi. Chunki rekord genuinely yaxshi. O'n to'rt trak namuna tomonidan boshqariladigan dunyo qurilishi, vintaj gipnoz lentalar va dokumentali tovush va haqiqiy Chopin past chastotaga to'qilgan, CUT_, Scratch Bastid, Jem Cooke va Kerli yo'lda. Bir nechta qo'shiqlar avvalgi trek qaytaruvlarini javob beradi, shuning uchun u takroriy matn ko'rinishida o'rniga o'rniga qaytaradi. EDM matbuoti to'g'ri ayt scenaga har bir burchagi uchun trek bor. Ko'z yugurtirish qadoqlashdir, musiqasi emas. Qo'shqo janarlarni ta'kib qilmayotganiga qasamyod qilgan, lekin aniq dubstep qilayotgan duet, kuchli albumni sarlavha va oy fazasi chiqarish qadoqlashini shunday qadoqlagan edi, undan chidamli olish uchun chidamli. Chopin namunasini tezis sifatida oling: kagatda pretensious, amaliyotda chiroyli.
Bu o'ziga ishonch hosil qilingan, boyitilgan album bo'lib, uning avvalshunosining dunyosini turli vazifalar o'rniga kengaytiradi. Namuna korxonasi haqiqiy, mehmon ro'yxati o'tkir va naqd bo'lma o'rniga haqiqiy tadbir sifatida qutnshadi.
The title is a dare
“The album is literally called Return to the Return (of the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness), a sequel to their 2025 Return to the Spectrum of Intergalactic Happiness.”
The fix Nothing to fix in the music, but a title this nested buries a strong record under its own punchline. Trust the songs to carry the concept.
Genre-denial while making the genre
“The duo insists bass genres are just things they dabble in, on an album squarely in dubstep-adjacent bass music with a track for every scene.”
The fix Own the lane. The record is best when it commits to the drop rather than hedging about what it is.
