Artists rarely have us at the hello that is their bio, but check out this line from the introduction to Sapphire Slows’ debut album: “Patiently pieced together across all of 2012 (plus change), and inspired by everything from St. Etienne’s plasticine euro-house, obscured J-Pop memories, Blue Bell Knoll, and the saddest Section 25 remixes, Allegoria swirls and spirals through ten textural electronic melancholias composed in, and somewhat for, solitude.”
So this record’s basically a dream-weaving dip into isolationalist dance music and the Cocteau Twins? Sold. Especially after we actually heard the following two immaculately produced tracks…
