TALABOMAN – THE NIGHT LAND
2017-01-23More than two years on from their first collaborative release the ‘Sideral’ EP, deep groove titans Axel Boman and John Talabot team up for the debut full-length LP as Talaboman. The sound of The Night Lands finds a neat mid-point between Talabot’s post-Balearicism and Boman’s effusive disco-house. ‘Samsa’ and ‘The Ghosts Hood’ are leftfield club punctuated by oddball synth programming and the sort of soft-yet-punchy drum work that has become Talabot’s trademark. Branching further out ‘Safe Changes’ has more than a hint of golden era Kraftwerk to it and ‘Midnatassol’ recalls the sonic exploration of David Byrne and Brian Eno’s Life in the Bush of Ghosts.
