Top 79 Music Albums of 2016
by Skinny

After #41 this is a complete mess (obviously I like all of these records, but they're in no kind of order whatsoever, largely because I haven't yet figured out how much I like them). Will get it sorted properly when I have the time (maybe).

This is an album that merges a very foggy, grey, melancholy, distinctly British atmosphere with a much more mischievous bent, full of flickering, lighthearted nods to early jungle and rave music. Rolling sub-bass and fragments of breakbeats snake in and out of a dense, almost sleepy layer of reverb and static, recalling Burial if deconstructed even further, and managing to conjure that same sense of human longing that Bevan's music so often does. Whilst this is heavy, gloomy stuff, Loizou makes sure the listener never strays too far from the party, and there's significant joy to be had in waiting to see how a particularly hazy, gargling drone is going to be transformed into a brash (if always tasteful) piece of rave nostalgia, be it through sweeping, overwhelmingly gorgeous strings, or through bitcrushed pads skittering away and forming into familiar, welcome drum'n'bass patterns. Her bass-heavy, oceanic drone isn't necessarily anything new, and neither is her desire to connect with the music of UK dancefloors gone by, but the way in which she melds the two feels unique and genuinely exciting, whilst also feeling very current in its abstracting of more straightforward strands of dance music. It's hypnotic stuff, and at its very best it brings to mind the fragmented memories of half-hearing music drift through asbestos-riddled ceilings into balcony smoking areas.
