TETSU INOUE: Yolo

More reviews by
Artist: TETSU INOUE
Title: Yolo
Format: CD
Label: DIN
Rated: * * * * *
With over 40 (!) albums under his belt, Inoue surely doesn't need much introduction. "Yolo" features ten tracks of warm electronica combining Eno-style ambient and the more humane form of glitch and digital processing, not that far from what artists like Fennesz or Taylor Deupree have explored in the last few years. Samples and melodic patterns (possibly generated by a guitar or a piano) are carefully combined in watercoloured, slightly melancholic pieces. The minimal cover suggests heavy snowfalls, and listening to "Yolo" in a chilly winter afternoon is like watching the outside world from a bubble where nothing can get to hurt you. Though not really the kind of music I normally crave for, "Yolo" was definitely a welcome moment of rest.
