Kavinsky – Nightcall (Vinyl 12")
Kavinsky’s production scheme is that of 80’s electro pop; opulent and massive. He records most of his material on a Yamaha DX7. There’s a myriad of French electro-house producers out there but Kavinsky stands out from the pack with his nostalgia laced jams and his fresh songwriting that doesn’t rely too heavily on bass or redundant drops. This is Kavinsky’s 3rd album; his first two went relatively unnoticed by critics and fans alike, making this release a smart one due to it being better than his previous albums. He gets a bit redundant at times, but that proves to be a small issue rather than a big one.
The main highlight of the album isn’t the title track. Surprisingly, its film feature doesn’t make it the best track on the LP. Instead, in my opinion, the highlight of the LP is “Pacific Coast Highway”. The title track makes the listener feel a brush of confidence while this one is total badass-ery. Samples from what would appear to be a cop show of sorts, this track makes the listener put the pedal to the metal and bump so even the deaf, senile elderly folk of the neighborhood can hear it. This track dances through the ears with 80’s electro swagger, leaving the listener feeling the need for speed.
