    In short, then: another fantastically enjoyable album from an artist whose modus operandi, above anything else, seems to be ensuring his audience is having the best possible time. Many a self-absorbed peer should take note.

    The more you listen to this record, the more it falls into place and traps you under its spell.

    More than anything else, one gets the feeling that Bespoke exists to defy categorization and manifest that essential need to live as a unique being, no matter how inevitable the factory-churning repetition of prescribed lifestyles may seem.

    It's a seemingly disparate list, but it's a testament to the producer's abilities that he can craft songs that fit so well with each voice.

    Now, he finally has some good music of his own attached to his name. It may or may not be enough to catch up to the rapidly accelerating talents of his younger peers-- but it's certainly a start.

    To be a little more complimentary, Bespoke sounds like darkly magnolia-lined city streets, like late afternoon, like crisp hotel beds. Darlington may have tailored the album from existing sonic cloth, but at least this time the seams are a little more skillfully sewn.

    Bespoke is a study in contrast, a series of juxtapositions. It's all about dissonance and musical friction in lieu of harmony and ease. It is not the sum of its parts-it's about the individual parts themselves.
