Arrival by Klasey Jones
Klasey Jones returns once more for another solid outing on Terrorhythm in the shape of the 6 track "Arrival" E.P.
The term retro futurism is thrown around in music all too much, but if any artist embodies that term it is Klasey, and never more so than on "Arrival" - an E.P. which scores themes of love and exploration through space and time, beautifully illustrated on Mizucat's excellent artwork that fans have become so enamoured with.
With his inspiration deeply rooted in strains of RnB, Electronica and Rap, it's fitting that "Arrival" feels like the artist has found his feet with vocal features for the first time on his works. You Are The Reason featuring Devon Wright feels hi-tech in it's production tones, with Devon's vocal performance reminiscent of the 80's new romantic era. The romantic appeal and themes run throughout, with references to Klasey's intergalactic search for love on "Starship Love" and "Brentwood Affair" rounded off with a sultry RnB performance from Iman which has been chopped and screwed to perfection on "Rearrange".
Arrival feels like an exploration in sound from Klasey and the title suggests he has found solace in expressing his music alongside vocals, we're excited to see what the next stop will be on his intergalactic journey.
