Time Wharp – Spiro World LP
Listening to this record feels like being taken on a spontaneous road trip with no particular destination. Verdant rolling hills, desolate deserts, the slow winding up soaring snow capped mountains, a midnight beach side picnic; each track has a distinct personality, while meandering between jazz, techno, classical, and funk.
Spiro World (or One Must First Become Aware Of The Body) is the definitive Time Wharp full-length coming of age collection. Unhinged to any particular music scene, Spiro’s (in reference to prescription drug spironolactone) unabashed yet vulnerable all genre album story by its Brooklyn-based artist Kaye Loggins describes somatically profound personal experiences of derealization, the endocrinological mixolydian heaven & pharma hell on earth, and love letters to New York.
