Reborn after 2021’s middling Glowing In The Dark, album five really expands their horizons. Unlike the current vogue for calling half-baked demos a mixtape, these 21 tracks have the air of the best compilations. Standouts are longtime associate Self Esteem topping Complete Me’s vintage rave, Japanese rapper Yuuko going into battle with the Mory Kante vibe of Don’t Touch That Dial and Jack Peñate reminding listeners why he should be far bigger than George Ezra on No Time. That it all stays exciting shows just how good the collective can be when in tune.
