Hugh Mane - Prima Volta (2018)

London’s Hugh Mane, a favourite of Gerd Janson and a regular on the man’s label, is back with a mini-LP for his own Stupid Human label, previously his own moniker. As expected, this is a fine collection of warm, enwrapping Balearic sounds that are made to make the mind float and wonder into deep space, not to mention the inevitable dip into the ether! From the aqueous shapes of “Prima Volta” to the blissful drones of “Repeat To Fade”, or even the placid, pseudo-hip-hop of “Lotus Position”, Hugh Mane knows exactly how to speak to listeners on a human-e level. A wonderful LP, and a top pick of the week from us!
