    The result is honed and sophisticated, unique yet smartly referential.

    While it perhaps doesn't achieve all it sets out to, it is regardless an intriguing, immersive combination of old and new.

    The Host is a sun-blessed electronic album drawing from the now, as well as two decades ago, and that works well enough.
