Album Review: Daniel Avery - Drone Logic

The title of Daniel Avery's debut album implies something far left of what it delivers, which seems to be his entire MO. Drone Logic as a title sounds like it could be another Tim Hecker collaboration LP, but what Avery delivers is a delightful, ravey, acid house-influenced electro album. Avery plays with modified vocal loops as beat highlights and textural touchstones – among all the cold dance rhythms, the songs come to life through these samples and ever surprising twists and turns. While never as great as it could be, this is a very promising house debut.
