Every Life Is A Light

Description

Montreal-based producer and sound collagist Joni Void returns with his warmest, most welcoming album to date, marrying his sampled songcraft to gooey, percolated downtempo beats. Every Life Is A Light expands on Void's recent stylistic pivot toward more languorous and plush lo-fi production, presaged by the floating freedom and ambient bricolage of his previous experimental sound art album. This liminal sensibility now shapes more defined song structures and styles, with loops given time and space to unfurl, and rhythms passed through the gentler lens of trip-hop and dub. Every Life Is A Light trades the jittery insistence of Joni Void’s acclaimed early albums for a newfound lightness and pliability, still suffused with the hustle, sonic detail, and emotional resonance that made his name. For fans of Cibo Matto, Andy Stott, Blithe Field, Yuka Honda, DJ Shadow, Kenny Seagal, Susumu Yokota.
