In duo Sam Healey (keys, sax, vocals) and Craig Hanson (drums) as Skeltr are a blast of fresh air. Opener 'Cheef Beef' is polyphonic, positive, and in terms of the multitracked vocals Afrojazz-sounding; 'Braila' has chunky bass; 'Siren' begins like a ballad, the nurtured audio sound quality of the synth strings warm and attractive (a lot of interesting production work has gone into the album); 'Kinkai's Question' ought to appeal to grime fans most. 'Fjord' lingers behind the beat; 'Nesodden' is more cosmic with its Rhodesy swell. The ecstatic saxophone passages often illuminate the overall sound when they occur. Out now. On Ubuntu
