British producer Matan Zohar's second album feels like an imaginary compilation album from a label that doesn't exist.
Self Assemble is exuberant, colourful, and unexpected. It traverses through multiple genres without looking back, with funky songs like Sinful and The Enemy, the bouncy Killing Time, sample-based Soul Food, and the brain-numbing banger Lights Out. The album is padded with short instrumental tracks that provide just enough respite between tunes and work as efficient transitions, although the dubstep beats of Ruffneck Bad Bay (VIP) remain just as obnoxious. Too Late starts off as an audacious acoustic ballad, however it's not as joyfully immediate as the other selections on offer.
