French artist P-Ben's latest EP on Molecular Recordings is a solid release showcasing his deft blend of old-school sounds influenced by Detroit's rich heritage. With an impressive catalog spanning quality labels like Ovum, KMS, Elevate and Motech, P-Ben's latest offering is no exception. The EP features relentless, powerful beats that are sure to elevate dance floors. However, there is also a deeper, more subtle matter in the form of deep, punchy chords with a hypnotic flow and softer sonic textures that create a more introspective listening experience.
The entire album manages to provide introspection, absorbing energy and twilight light, and that closes a record that knows how to turn musical pulp into a refreshing ambrosia juice. The more the record is listened to, the more difficult it is to locate it in a specific geographical location. His music seems to never solidify, to be a flow of sounds and impressions that never seem to remain fixed in place or memory, like a perfume or a quick vision of a body in motion, until it postulates as one of the true future values of tame and lustrous electronics.
P-Ben's versatility is on display here, catering to the many nuances and moods of well-crafted ideas in a carefully chosen setting.
P-Ben's command of language is total, and here they have once again delved into the past to be inspired by another verse, more forceful and melancholic, but no less evocative. All in all, we can safely say that this Loosh is on the verge of excellence.
