Teal - Original Watercolour (2025) [Hi-Res]

Bucolic summer downbeats by Toronto’s T3AL, swimming shimmering waters between trip hop, street soul and new age ambient with a real retro-vintage zeal on 2nd side for Spiritual World.

Sunny days all year round on ‘Original Watercolour’, yielding six soft-touch cuts of nice ’n easy groove meshed with flute and breathy vox throwing back to Sneaker Pimps and Lamb and the sorts of syrupy ‘80s soul that begat the ‘90s sound, edging on styles also referenced by Jessy Lanza.

Festive romantics will be in their element as the LP flows from the balance of harmonious soft focus vox and flutes underlined by loosely precision tooled groove on its title tune, via the balmy mid-tempo ace ‘Locked in 2 Love’, to a standout of heat-hazed high summer synths, sirens and well-oiled bass in ‘Sleep On it’, thru the duskier tone of ‘Frog Kingdom’ and FM feathered soul vapours in ‘Can’t Shake the Feeling’.

For the lovers.
