In this day of electro loving hipsters, who wear shoe-lace like head bands as a mask of proof for some notoriously false appreciation for music, it gets harder and harder to find electronic (or in the same realm) music that actually holds some weight. This is why Recloose’s newest drop, Perfect Timing, is such a breath of fresh air. Not to mention it really did come at the perfect timing, before this slum of electro mash ups and distorted bass farts took over for good. Perfect Timing is a release that does not even try to be as great as it is, where everything else coming out tries entirely too hard.

“Catch A Leaf,” the first track, is a perfect blend of RnB, electronica, and even some hip-hop, with guest vocalist Rachel Frasier, who adds a smooth MoTown feeling to the whole track. Then there’s songs like “Solomon’s Alive,” with wondrous bee-bop samples, wondering the boundaries of where horns end and rock begins, while traveling to the world of break beats to borrow some goodies. And these tracks don’t even graze the surface of variety on Perfect Timing. “Robop” shows us that Recloose, too, can do the club music if asked for, whereas “Can It Be” channels Quincy Jones’ production on Off The Wall to put together something so musically intense but on point that it sounds as smooth as a single guitar: even though there is obviously quite a bit more going on.
