matias aguayo: legend

Matias Aguayo's Legende features four new cuts that are as thrilling as they are edgy -- starting with the lyrically-charged late-night stomper "Run Away from the Sun," a tragic tale illustrated by dark, fraying synth patches caught by menacing, yet oddly warm-sounding surges of bass, with keyboards played by Yasuyo Uemura and a mix-down by Tobias Freund. There's also the slow-burning, slightly psychotic "Lola in the City" and the yearning, alien synths of "Walty." The title-track is a wonderful centerpiece for a unique release brimming with mesmerizing textures and finely-tuned surprises.
