New Metome: Objet

We (basically) just put a bow on 2013, and now a slew of albums appear online that are already jostling for 2014 list positioning. Geez, I was gonna take a vacation now, can’t do that.

Osaka’s Metome is the latest artist to drop a new album at the very end of the year, and this one follows his album OPUS Cloud and a string of great songs sprinkled throughout the back-half of 2013. We’ve touched on some of the tracks on Objet before…the sparse “Take This Love” and 2013-highlight “Bishop’s Rising Sun”…but there is plenty of fantastic new whirlwinds to get wrapped up in. Metome has always worked with spliced-up vocal samples, but on the slow-burning “Water Cycle” he’s cutting ’em thinner than ever, making for a song that slowly morphs, each new ripple making the track sound fresh once again. “Found Ture Love” turns little murmurs into an intimate swirler, while “All Around Me” creates a delicious skittery beat. The 2014 album season is off to a good start. Get it here, or listen below.
