Moses Sumney - grae

A spectacular melange of genres which collages and flows in a way that reminds me of Endtroducing..... but, unlike that other, is built around the artist's voice. There are some obvious skyscrapers across grae's 20 tracks - "Virile", "Me in 20 Years" and "Bless Me" among them - and earworms at every turn, be it the dropped-in title hook of "Conveyor", the moody piano and electronics of "Gagarin", the crystalline carefulness of "Two Dogs", or any of a host of others. Sumney's unique as far as I know, but other artists this album has brought to mind include Anohni, Thom Yorke, Blonde Redhead and Jamie xx.
