Sydney beat embroiders Hermitude come out all guns blazing on fourth record HyperParadise.
Opening salvo Engage lives up to its name with a big-beat assault of epic proportions. Things settle into more of typically fluid, future-hip hop groove on Get in My Life, surging with aquatic synths and sticky beats.
There’s clattering soul, funked-up electro-pop and wonky mashes of afro-latin action and glossy R&B aesthetics (check the title track). The one aspect it does lack is some downbeat and some downtime.
While this is a joyous, hyper-colour gesture, it would be great to hear such gifted producers tackle some darker, more contemplative terrains, if only for a moment of respite.
