Pro Reviews: Daedelus Denies The Day's Demise

EXPERT RATING:   

From AMG Reviews

Daedelus's fifth album in five years Daedelus Denies the Day's Demise continues the Santa Monica soundscaper's brilliant string of records. His previous album's excellence made it seem like Daedelus was working at his peak but amazingly he not only equals that album but also surpasses it, creating his most satisfying album since his debut. All the ingredients of the usual sonic feast are present in copious amounts; beats that bob and weave like punch drunk boxers, inventive samples drawn from unique and obscure sources, a whimsical sense of humor and seriously good song craft. Yes, song craft. So many electronic artists are deficient in this area that when someone takes the time to craft electronic pieces that flow like a great and meaningful song, you have to stop and give them some love. Just try to call Our Last Stand, the achingly melancholy Never None the Wiser or Sundown anything but great songs. Added to the stew this time around are some Latin influences (the funky Brazilian samples on Bahia, the rhythmic underpinnings on Nouveau Nova, Samba Legrand and Petite Samba), some manic bursts of energy like on the get out of your chair and shake something rocker Sawtooth EKG and the return of lush and dreamy orchestra and horn samples that mostly disappeared after Daedelus's first album. Check Dreamt of Drowning, Patent Pending and At My Heels to hear how sublimely he mashes together such disparate sounds as clattering electronics and orchestras. Subtracted are the guest appearances that were all over his last album and they aren't missed at all. He also has put to rest any avantgarde leanings and moments of chaos that have slowed him down in spots before. In their place he has added more passion, more melody and more richness, which results in the most consistent, tuneful, and exuberant Daedelus record yet. Like booklet cover star Little Nemo, Daedelus creates his own dream world where everything and anything is possible and probable.
