    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Com Truise changes things up, adding more melody to his already smooth sound. Excellent from start to finish… Expand

    While earlier Com Truise releases were more suitable as a unique background companion to a sunset drive on a coastal highway, they often missed some of the strong craftmanship that Seth Haley is able to showcase here on what is perhaps his most interesting album to date.

    It is on the lighter side of heavy, and always crystalline.

    Haley retains the analogue wobble of his earlier work, particularly evident on 2010’s Cyanide Sisters and 2011’s Galactic Melt where his crisp and crunchy beats are at their impactful best. But on Persuasion System he’s combined them with stronger melodies and arrangements, elevating their effect from that of incidental, if still effective background music to the gripping theme of a main character.

    The pacing of the album is a little more sluggish than normal. It’s clear it was a conscious effort to savour this intergalactic soundscape and add more detail, but it’s aftereffects certainly carry over excess baggage. It’s not a bad album by any means and if you like his work, this will deliver in all the ways you’d expect, but in that regard that’s half the problem.
