Laurel Halo is a veteran of innovative club music. Now she takes a step further with her new album on Hyperdub: propulsive beats give way to complex and atomised arrangements. The musician navigates effortlessly between dub, broken beats, house, r’n’b, and jazz; uncompromising polymorphous tracks that sound like high-tech pop from the future, while her synthetically modified voice forms a fragmented narrative. Set to bright harmonies, they feel like healing appeals against a standardised notion of acceleration and progress.
