PLAYED - Palm Trees
London is running a fever. 34 degrees, all week, in a city built for drizzle.
Everyone has an opinion; nobody has air conditioning.
The studio's answer has been on repeat since Monday. Under Palmtrees: an hour of sun-bleached rhythms, dusty jazz, off-centre electronics and voices that wander in and out like half-remembered conversations. Nothing rushes. Everything has room to breathe.
Soul Keita and Nicolas Jaar open it, De Ambassade mutter away in Dutch somewhere in the middle, Nosaj Thing and Julianna Barwick blur the edges, and a KVB track waits for the light to drop. It settles into the background, then quietly takes over your head.
