Photographer: Kim Hiorthoy. Summing up Kelly Lee Owens' solo output to date, her self-titled debut full-length mixes a handful of previously released singles with newer tracks, drifting between dream pop, trip-hop, and atmospheric techno. Rarely does any track stick to one style; they'll often start off detached and tentative before a snapping 4/4 beat kicks in halfway through. The Jenny Hval-sung "Anxi." does this, starting out as ethereal pop before flipping to thumping minimal techno. "Lucid" sums the album up nicely, beginning with subdued waves of synth strings and Owens' pleading vocals ("Different from the rest, don't you see it? Somewhere in between, lucid, lucid"). Eventually a ticking beat and arpeggios kick in, and Owens' voice repeating the word "lucid" seem to dissipate into the night air. Some songs are more lyrically focused, while others (such as Arthur Russell tribute "Arthur") utilize Owens' soft voice as an instrument. A few exotic instruments color the shadowy synths and sighing vocals, from the tablas of opener "S.O." to the thump pianos of "Bird" to the droning tambura during the cosmic mantra "8" that concludes the album. The album's poppiest moment is "Throwing Lines," which has an oddly sugary vocal melody, but it's set to downcast throbbing. Previously released track "C.B.M." is more propulsive, sticking to a hypnotic minimal groove while Owens sporadically repeats something about colors between motion. "Keep Walking" sounds like a deliberate homage to Massive Attack's "Teardrop," with a slow, crackling beat and breezy Elizabeth Fraser-esque vocals. Owens' album seems a bit scattered and all over the place, but its sense of dream logic is intriguing, and its best moments are captivating. ~ Paul Simpson

ヒストリー・オブ・アップル・パイの元メンバーによる初のソロ作。Pitchforkが〈ドリーム・ポップとストイックなテクノの融合〉と評している通り、越境性の高い電子音楽を創造していて、ダニエル・エイヴリー作品などへの客演経験をしっかり楽曲に落とし込んできた印象だ。実験的なリズム展開にドキッとさせられつつ、コクトー・ツインズみたいに陰影を含んだ歌声が気持ち良くて、何度もリピートしてしまうという罠!
