Long in the works, Vini Reilly’s first album in 16 years distills minimalism, romanticism, and ambient into a sort of universal music.

The singer’s fourth album inhabits a balmy medium zone of relentlessly moderate tempos and subdued vocals, where even brief moments of intriguing tension and fuzz get flattened into homogeneity.

On its third album, the Philadelphia sibling duo crafts folk-pop gems that are warm, familiar, and slightly surreal.

On his first appearance for Peak Oil, the Mancunian producer animates foreboding, percussive bass music with tricky details and Escherian grooves.
