Aug 10, 2016t’s a record about how the night is more than just an expanse of time to sleep through or drink away. Indeed, through West’s eyes, it’s much more: a richly populated terrain where life can be discovered, avowed, and confronted, even in the darkest of corners.
-
Aug 8, 2016On Night Melody, West has created a touchingly personal piece of art that feels more like an addendum to Howl than a jarringly new chapter in his musical journey.
-
Aug 8, 2016West, when left alone to his devices, is able to transform emotion into the esoteric, colluding synthesis into vibrant, organic swaths of sound. Rhythmically taking jabs like hesitation marks, throwing caution to the wind.
-
Aug 8, 2016While there's certainly a sorrowful theme to this album, it doesn't seem like West is merely interested in creating dark, depressing music; there's still something hopeful and encouraging about it.
-
Sep 9, 2016It takes us back to the late 00s, when the likes of Martyn, Sepalcure and Joy Orbison were bringing lushness and melody to (post) dubstep--and that’s no bad place to be at all.
-
Aug 8, 2016The mood of each piece sticks to a narrow range between quietly brooding and vaguely anthemic. But it's not only business as usual for Rival Consoles. In small pockets and slight gestures, distinctive traits emerge from West's symphonic electronics.
