Doris Norton – Personal Computer

New York via Chicago trio Purelink steps it up once again on their second full-length, Faith, this time incorporating organic elements (voice, guitar, bass) within their deeply textured post-dancefloor dreamscapes. “Rookie” features a pleasantly dry, lullaby-like vocal from Hyperdub artist Loraine James alongside an ambient downtempo groove. The track sounds like the perfect music to settle into after a long night out dancing with friends. On “First Iota,” poet Angelina Nonaj shares something like a voice message over plucked guitar chords and waves of ambience: “I’m on my way to get fake nails. Not everything beautiful has to be real.” For those more inclined to vocal-less dreaming, “Kite Scene” and “Circle of Dust” offer pulse and sub-wise bass weight for both chill-out floors and deep home listening. A perfect sophomore LP from one of the quintessential groups leading the contemporary ambient-dancefloor sound (or whatever you want to call it).
