WONDER WHERE WE LAND

Description

SBTRKT Does English producer SBTRKT, creator of the unmissable Wildfire, still need an introduction? In the space of a few remixes (M.I.A., Basement Jaxx, Mark Ronson,…) and a self-titled album, SBTRKT quickly established himself as one of the key figures on the English electronic scene. The renowned producer crafts a graphic and sonic persona, hidden behind a tribal mask, and elevated post-dubstep to prominence by adding an irresistible groove to it. His first album, with its stripped-down sounds, left a lasting impression and took him around the world. After a two-year hiatus and a series of EPs, SBTRKT finally released his new album Wonder Where We Land, on which he showcases his various influences. In addition to the first two singles, Temporary View, performed by his accomplice Sampha, and New Dorp New York, featuring Ezra Koenig, which carry the DNA of SBTRKT's productions, the album often veers into hip-hop with Voices In My Head, Higher, or pop on The Light or Problem Solved. Even if he sometimes abandons his classic and effective large-scale production style, Wonder Where We Land is decidedly the logical continuation of SBTRKT. Noteworthy guests on this album of perfectly polished compositions, where electronic sounds combine as effectively as ever with pop gimmicks, include Jessie Ware, Caroline Polachek (Chairlift), Warpaint, Denai Moore, and A$AP Ferg.
