7.5 out of 10It's been 5 years since Lusine's amazing release "Serial Hodgepodge", Jeff Mcilwain (Lusine) hasn't just been sitting around though. He's released a remix companion to "Serial Hodgepodge" titled "Podgelisms" and he also returned to his ambient er, ummm, side project called Lusine Icl. "Two Dots", however, marks his return to Ghostly and IDM-Ambient music, this time with a few new sounds.
"Two Dots" is the first single off of the upcoming "A Certain Distance". "Two Dots" signifies one of two things; 1. A standout "dance-pop" song served on a plate of delicious IDM sexuality or 2. A shift in sound directions from "Serial Hodgepodge" with newly added elements of vocals and pop music structures. Either way, I am extremely pleased with this single, although it is a little more "poppier" than older Lusine material it still has that sensuality and intellect that has always been there. Thumpy kicks, quiet snares, ringing arpeggiation, airy synths, wobbly bass lines, and Vilja Larjosta's relaxing vocal samples make up for one terrific new song ala Lusine style.
I can't wait for the new Lusine release, I'm highly intrigued by Jeff Mcilwain's slightly new direction. RECOMMENDED. Stream the song HERE.
Standout Tracks: All of them are great, but the original is of course the best.
