TRACKLIST
01) (03:57) Lunar Eve
02) (04:08) Triangle Optics
03) (03:52) Triangle Optics (Kon Remix)
Rafael Bucio, aka Seapoint, in succession to his masterful B.YRSLF debut, revisits
his singular songwriting flair and knack for high-end production for his sophomore
effort, this time on Infinite Machine û the "Lunar Eve" EP. His signature vox work
and underwater sonics abound.
The title track and opener, "Lunar Eve", explores the reductionist funk (replete with
sparse, but lush chord washes and wanky synth flourishes) some might expect from such
Night Slugs alums as Girl Unit, Bok Bok, L-Vis, or Jam City. However, where said
heavyweights would unfailingly build towards a climactic, hi-NRG, post-Bmore
construction, Rafael eschews a focus on dance music, instead opting for an emotional,
reflective take on the formula.
Conversely, this doesn't happen on "Triangle Optics", where the focus is emphatically
the dancefloor. The vox chant "yo, turn the lights on, move, partyin' with me"...
There is no ambiguity: Seapoint wants you to work it. The audio backdrop he provides
is a soulful, nostalgic house jam, that cleverly switches up into an irresistible
UKG/grime number midway. Kon remixes the tune into a bubbly, schizoid, psychedelic
rhythm experiment, punctuated and kept together by exuberant, unrelenting chord
stabs.
