Dovetailing prevailing streams of club heat on XL’s 12” club series from the likes of Arca and his Sangre Nueva bandmate, Florentino, Python allows circles of ambient dembow and cloudrap to beautifully blur and ease off into blissed states on this first outing in three years. His creative binds with Jawnino, whose exemplary debut ’40’ was co-issued on his label, Worldwide Unlimited, blooms the dusky downbeat of a real highlight ‘Dai Buki’, one of two vocal works along with the Purelink-adjacent trip hop dub drowse to ‘Besos Robados’ starring Isabella Lovestory’s feathered Spanish phonemes set to a soft but rugged half step swang.
On his ones, Python enchants with blends of a now signature style of lyrically instrumental strokes and his own dreampop-nodding vox, surely recalling A.R. Kane via early ‘00s ambient in the crystalline haze of ‘Marry Me Maia’, and shades away from Helado Negro and early Miami styles on ‘Coquine’, thru his most concerted push toward tranced bliss on ‘Elio’s Lived Behind My House Forever’.
