about

Shmu (aka Sam Chown) has spawned back and drops an updated cartridge of exploratory and vibrant, gamified electronic music. On Diino Power: Plastiq Island a cable inside the console has frayed and some relays popped their pathways; as listeners jump between the albums 5 levels and various stages – the album is constructed per a videogame level systems – they whiplash between catchy melodies and sputtering electronic blobulation. Plug into the album and become a character crossing beams between a lush cartoon stream and an emotional and pensive first person creeper. Balancing many far-reaching musical ideas to create a synthesized and immersive world, the album equips listeners with varied inventory; thrashed vocals (including a guest appearance from Fire Toolz) counter lavish synthesizers and granular production details. Icy drums prickle against velvety samples. Organic textures shatter into digital bits. Dino Power: Plastiq Island is an adventure through a short-circuiting musical sandbox. It balances a novel sense of play with an artisanal sense of attention to detail. However uncanny the valley, there is humanity in this music, reflecting back from the home screen.

Poppy electronic weirdness at its most pointillistic; this is either the world's strangest plunderphonics album, the world's funniest work of musique concrète, or the world's most freaked out synthpop album. DoomZappo
