- Seattle's Futurewife is a pretty big fan of UK bass, it seems. His approach, however, is slightly different to that seen in recent years. Cherrypicking the most blissful elements of the genre—narcotic, pitch-sliding chords and honeyed vocals—his two original tracks here are an express ticket to bacchanalia, where rhythm is but a pleasant diversion. It's a long way from the intensity found across the pond. The title track supplements the downy melange with chirpy ladders of arps, while the more pensive "Isla" spins string-like synths into a languid, intoxicating whirlpool.
The remaining three cuts, all remixes of "It Gets Better," throw a bit more focus onto beats. Volleys of 2-step snares and kicks underpin Pikcha's version, for instance, though he keeps things blissful. Lakosa's dub is a bit softer, inserting 4/4 drums and claps into the heady fog and charting a smooth course. Roma's remix may be the nicest. Flushed with whimsy, the Frenchman's effort returns to 2-step, but flocks the drums in bird and insect calls, courting enchanted garden imagery. For those who find Futurewife's originals just a bit too much, this hyper-detailed alternative seems ideal.
