Sure, the ‘post-club’ ambient thing has felt a little exhausted for a while now, but albums like 2022’s Sone Glo, from one of the non-genre’s pioneers, Pontiac Streator, still have the capacity to dazzle. It’s different enough, anyway; not ambient, really, except in a Selected Ambient Works way, the beats muzzy and blurred. What’s particularly compelling about Pontiac Streator’s music is its shadowplay, its way of collapsing background and foreground and then foxing the details, making everything lopsided and slightly delirious. It’s music that moves like slurry or dense mud, but radiated, and made ectoplasmic, too. The textures are haptic, the sounds are a strange combination of steely-sleek and fudged, faded, mottled and mouldy. It’s electronic music at a point of welcome confusion.
