It's Album Time

Released

“What if Todd Terry but Norwegian” is a self-aware premise to start with; so’s the LP title, which lends a “well alright then” glibness to the fact that he built his rep off a decade’s worth of wiseassed Scandi-house singles and collabs and edits before deigning to commit to a full-length. But there’s no time like this album’s present: retro-electro that shows the synthwave kiddies how it’s done (“Delorean Dynamite”), balearic disco that revels in old-school synth burble (“Preben Goes to Acapulco”), an honest-to-god Robert Palmer cover featuring honest-to-god Bryan Ferry (“Johnny and Mary”). Louche and loving it.
