I am really enjoying this 2006 album by electronic duo Isan. Spacious, ambient music with bright and optimistic movements that take their time to build, high pitch sounds and rich, glitch fueled textures. This is a really soothing album. The granular sound textures will be familiar to anyone who enjoyed early 2000's Stereolab, particularly in the Sound Dust era. The soft, peaceful, grazing, meditative and kind compositions will be appealing to anyone who is into sigur ros. I am often looking for electronic music with similar textures and an optimistic and playful sensibility. It is difficult to find these days; most popular electronic music on soundcloud is ableton live produced, hip hop influenced ambient music with trap beats that sounds a bit repetitive to me. This is a solid release that holds up eight years later for its attention to space and structure, even if the glitchy textures and and chirping beats sound somewhat of-their-era. (It was a good era, anyway, in my opinion.)
