It’s been four years since beat maestro The Gaslamp Killer released his stunning debut record, Breakthrough. While the injuries from his near-fatal scooter accident were enough to keep him from walking for several months, they didn't keep him from recording music. His sophomore album is titled Instrumentalepathy, it will be out on September 16th, and he’s shared the record’s first song titled “Residual Tingles”. Organ chords and shifting conga polyrhythms get things moving right out of the gate before an angelic string section swoops in and envelops the arrangement in a transcendent melodic sheen. Among the most talented of the Brainfeeder-affiliated, The Gaslamp Killer has a knack for shifting psychedelic textures in and out the mix as he builds a cohesive whole, never allowing the song to lose its pacing or fall apart. About halfway in, a gorgeous string solo wades its way through the percussive frenzy with everything getting abruptly cut out of the mix shortly afterwards, save for some disembodied female vocals that bring the song to its foreboding outro. It’s a strong return to form for one of the beat scene’s most distinct pioneers, and it gives me no reason to believe that Instrumentalepathy won’t be one of the strongest electronic releases of 2016.
