Smalhans (LP)
Lindstrøm
Amoeba Review
11/05/2012
Lindstrom records sound like the best party you’ve ever been to, impossibly sleek yet as much fun as a backyard rager. From the outset, Smalhans is both lean and muscular while still emitting an exotic, luxurious glow, coming on strong with “Ra-ako-st’s” hard bass and gleaming synthesizers. It doesn’t let up from there across its six tracks, the beats kicking your ass on songs like “Eg-ged-osis,” graduating its dancefloor thrills with a highwire climax before kicking back into gear for a danceable finish. He seems to have listened to his critics from his last album, this year’s muddled Six Cups of Rebel, and eased off on some of the clutter and ditching the singing, giving much-needed space for songs like “Vos-sako-rv” to wriggle into your heart. Smalhans is a great entry point, too, for those new to Lindstrom, as its no-filler approach makes it a winner all-around.
