Native Speaker, Braids. Chatty vocals over a swirly techno backdrop. The arrangements have a minimalist Laurie Anderson feel, and tracks like “Glass Deers” and the thumping, slowbuilding and absolutely mesmerizing “Lammicken” are more like sonic experiments than they are songs. Makes me immediately wonder what this would sound like in a concert hall. It would certainly be better to experience this in an acoustically ideal hall than in a club, the better to appreciate the dense, layered approach to music-making. Native Speaker does an awful of texturing in these seven tracks, which run from four and a half to eight and a half minutes in length.
