Naff Canada

Review: We heard enough on his eponymous 2017 mini-album to suggest that Ex-Terrestrial (real name Adam Feingold) would one day produce an extraordinary full-length excursion. Three years later, his first attempt at fulfilling that promise has finally arrived. It would be a stretch to describe "Gamma Infolded" as "extraordinary", but it's certainly very, very good. Flitting between dreamy, breakbeat-fired sunrise psychedelia ("Current Location"), trippy downbeat experiments ("Guardian Angel", "Bored Of Canada"), acidic IDM ("Awaken, Arise"), brain-dance ("Gguunngg") and wide-eyed, intergalactic electronica ("Scatterbrainn"), it's a set that neatly showcases the depth and breadth of his sound as much as his retro-futurist style.

Review: Adam Feingold once again dons the Ex Terrestrial alias, this time for an outing on box fresh Canadian imprint NAFF. He's in a typically melodious and glassy-eyed mood on the A-side, where "Portal Living (Kali)" and "Portal Living (Plain)" provide two contrasting takes on the producer's warm and wavy interpretation of early Italian dream house. "Vanilight (Re-Zoned)" sounds like his tactile take on obscure bleep pioneers DJ Martin and DJ Homes' brilliant (but little-known) bass-heavy remixes of Man Machine's "Animal", while closer "2DS" is a kaleidoscopic slice of deep musical bliss that sits somewhere between original New Jersey deep house and the turn-of-the-'90s Soul II Soul sound.
