Album Review: Roosevelt - Elliot

Though its deeper bassline lends itself to a more accessible, club vibe, the three tracks on this electronic release prove equal in quality.



This Cologne producer's debut EP is light-hearted without being frivolous, its warm synth tones driving bright spots of melody among its watery phaser beams and rhythmic drum patterns. The first two tracks seep echoing vocals into cinematic, dreamy soundscapes, the first of which has added disco flavour. Rather than peaking, these tracks ebb and flow in a chilled, oceanic fashion. Closer/title track Elliot has a dream-pop flavour, with more prominent vocals and restrained instrumentation. Though its deeper bassline lends itself to a more accessible, club vibe, the three tracks on this electronic release prove equal in quality.
