Bean Soup [LP]

Romansoff - Bean Soup [LP]

The A side opens with two ambient pieces: ''Inception,'' gritty and haunting, built from field recordings and layered chords, and the dreamier ''Regulator Dial.'' ''Air Lock'' and ''DFtB'' turn breaky and lowtempo, evoking early electronica. The flip moves through ''Waterproof's'' downtempo electro and ''Make Right,'' the LP's most club-ready cut. Title track ''Bean Soup'' channels early Four Tet: bleepy, minimal, emotional, while ''Sunlight'' closes with blissful, calming sounds, rounding out a beautifully balanced record.
