Atlantic Oscillations

Released

The multi-talented Will Holland delivered a beautiful and adroit return to a synth and sample-based, club-targeted aesthetic for 2019’s Atlantic Oscillations. All the requisite elements are in place here: cleverly wrought, original rhythm tracks, impeccably played instrumentation, crisp, smart production from a DJ who understands dance floor dynamics, and strong songs. High tempo highlights include string-swept, shimmering disco like September Blues, Afro-hybrid-house Motivic Retrograde and the slick, gently-driving vocal house of Incendium, while Alice Russell’s heart-wrenching delivery on another seemingly effortless minor-classic modern-soul effort Now Or Never, and the tense but tender Balearic You Used To Love Me featuring Denitia stand out among the more introspective tracks.
