Album Review: Nicolas Jaar - Telas
“Human voices are extremely minimal, usually whispered, and sound more like echoes of the prior world; Telas is still in a primordial state, with no intelligent life – that’s where the intriguing instrumentation comes in. There are textures that are familiar from previous Jaar releases, but this is by far his most tactile album yet, with many hollow and physical sounds from objects that are hard to picture. He provides plenty of synth beds and spare piano lines that seem to flutter out of the ether, but the most in-focus sounds across Telas are these most unusual ones.”
Nicolas Jaar’s third full-length of the year is his most challenging yet, I had a go at reviewing it over on Beats Per Minute.
