Comment: by
listening to this set of 14 tracks by a talented Estonian musician
and music reviewer Florian Wahl aka Anton-Babinski
who has issued some issues
before that but the recent one is his top tier undoubtedly. It could
be denoted contemporary soul
music being littered with
nowadays technical possibilities and effects yet the soulful
core of it will not get lost
among it. However, it is partly true because the extent of the styles
is wide in a more or less
way. Furthermore, it is soul
searching of the artist where hovering longing passages are either
adorned with autotuned vocals or exquisite beats or wondrous
synthesised ghosts or suggestive sighs or chopped and screwed
flickers. On the other
side, it could be said at times the cinematic side of Anton-Babinski
comes in and that`s very
appreciated. By
the way, his sound is frequently tagged as ghost pop though
it might say way too little and be misleading about Wahl`s intentions.
One of the most pre-eminent
points is Cherry Fairy
which obviously
is based on Animal
Collective's wondrous Loch
Raven with all those
ghastly yet enchanting higher frequencies and capturing fadeouts. All
in all, it is a great issue
from 2016.
