〈Oath〉のサブレーベル〈Last Year At Marienbad〉からメルボルンの Holoのニューリリース。サックスをフィーチャリングしたムーディー、美しさとエレクトロニックの幻想感、良いハウスグルーヴ「Astro」筆頭に４トラック。ダブやリズムのユニークさがある。
Track List
Oath sub-label Last Year At Marienbad is proud to present the latest spellbinding work from producer Holo, 'Astro', a record that emulates never-ending ethereal, emotively pure, and endlessly danceable frequencies…
Berlin-based Holo makes dance music that speaks in carefree whispers, through a brilliantly constructed sound that leans as much on the hypnotically emotive as on the core fundamentals of composition.
'Astro' is the next phase of his musical journey, and as a contained experience, it gives over all that Holo has become celebrated for, alongside explorations of invigorating spaces in which his sound has grown. The title track is an airy, free-flowing affair, with its semi-stepping drum pattern providing the frame for the light chimes of the keys to set the soul going. 'Spirits' ups the ante with its tempo change, its direction more towards a dancefloor in some faraway paradise.
'Sympatika' kicks off the B-side in a similar fashion, with its extensive groove fuelling bated breath for the arrival of the synths. 'Cycles' wraps up the EP, which again shifts focus to a more cavernous, absorbing kind of sound. A final blend of audio excellence that wraps up a one-of-a-kind record from a one-of-a-kind producer.

『Oathのサブレーベル「Last Year At Marienbad」は、プロデューサーHoloによる最新作『Astro』を誇りを持って発表します。本作は、果てしなく続く幽玄で、情感に満ちた純粋さ、そして踊り続けたくなるような周波数を体現した作品です… ベルリンを拠点とするHoloは、構成の核心的な要素と同様に、催眠的な情感にも重きを置いた見事に構築されたサウンドを通じて、気ままなささやきのように語りかけるダンスミュージックを作り出しています。 『Astro』は彼の音楽的旅路における次の段階であり、一つの完結した体験として、Holoが称賛されてきたすべての要素に加え、彼のサウンドが成長を遂げた活気あふれる領域への探求を余すところなく届けてくれる。 タイトルトラックは、軽やかで流れるような曲調で、セミ・ステッピングのドラム・パターンが骨格となり、鍵盤の軽やかなチャイム音が魂を揺さぶる。『Spirits』はテンポの変化でさらに盛り上がりを見せ、その方向性はどこか遠い楽園のダンスフロアへと向かっている。 B面は『Sympatika』が同様の雰囲気で幕を開け、その広大なグルーヴがシンセの登場を待ちわびる聴き手の期待感を高めていく。『Cycles』はEPの締めくくりを飾り、再び焦点をより洞窟のような、聴き手を引き込むようなサウンドへと移す。唯一無二のプロデューサーによる唯一無二の作品を締めくくる、卓越したサウンドの最終的な融合である。 (インフォメーションより)』
