Album Review: Chrome Sparks - Goddess

StarStarStarStarHalf Star

His nuanced electronica is a bubbling stew of amalgamated sounds and rhythmic percussion.


Riddled with augmented exotic notes, celestial opener The Meaning Of Love impressively introduces US solo artist Jeremy Malvin's woozy new release. His nuanced electronica is a bubbling stew of amalgamated sounds and rhythmic percussion that sees different subtle elements floating to the surface at various points. A longing melody is filtered through buzzing layers in the stunningly arcade-like Star Step: a modern take on an '80s sci-fi epic. The rest of Goddess really steps up the busy, frenetic tones, maintaining a chiefly uplifting attitude amid Malvin's highly dense sonic approach. He plays at Howler on 26 Jul.
