I've really been enjoying an album by a guy called Howes, called 3.5 Degrees. He uses modular synths to make these really calm, quasi-ambient tracks that kind of flirt with house and techno but aren't necessarily targeted towards dancefloors. His stuff has a really homely, close vibe, which may come from the fact that he records from his synths straight onto cassette, and something about it feels really personal. It's melodic without putting too much emphasis on being easy to cling to, kind of stuck in purgatory between the sort of thing Caribou deals in (i.e. warm, fuzzy electronica that appeals to indie fans) and the more experimental, warped side of the house music spectrum (i.e. the resignedly dirty beats that Kassem Mosse and the rest of the Workshop crew peddle), but it has a certain homespun charm that certainly appeals, and a tinny, relatable tone that makes it extremely accessible. It's probably my favourite album of 2016 so far (although I have a lot of love for the latest efforts from Bowie and Boosie, respectively), and it's definitely worth a listen. Samples below.
