I'lls: Can I Go With You To Go Back To My Country

Every now and then an album comes along where I’m stuck for words. My musical knowledge seems obsolete and I can’t think of a single thing to piece together in order to describe how the album sounds. I’lls has done this to me, but in the best possible way and so I thank them for it!
My main advice is to put this on and close your eyes, there’s really nothing else you need to do. In ‘Aves’ each sounds rolls over the other and the tracks just seem to flow seamlessly from the speakers, guided of course by Simon Lam’s vocals.
Second track off the bat, ‘A / B / A’ is a bit punchier with more synth than the last, the serenity is a bit less in this track but the fluidity is there. Don’t even bother asking me how they manage to stay so fluid with that much synth and sound effects, I can’t even begin to explain why.
Favourite for me is ‘Keep’ which seems to strike the happy medium between the two previous tracks. ‘Substitutions’ also sits pretty high on the list for amping things up a bit. Can I Go With You To Go Back To My Country is a great release for those who are looking for the next big thing in synth, rhythmic music production, because I’lls are it.
