Atlantic Oscillations

Quantic

Released

2019

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.
