Description
Expertly paced, Dettmann II impresses especially with its carefully rising narrative. On first glance, as the album barrels into action with the particulate grit of “Throb” and “Ductil”, Dettmann is in fine style. But to the careful listener, these tracks feel lightweight like they’re built from aluminum instead of steel. Each tune’s central theme is a bit more out there than usual, from the sheet metal racket of “Lightworks” to the house-hinting chorus of “Soar”, which is every bit as majestic as its title implies.
