This is Denmark-based
Jakob Skøtt
's full-length debut under his
Syntaks
alias. Skøtt has been a lifelong collaborator with friend
Jonas Munk
more recently on his
Manual
project, as well as their first release on Morr Music as members of the band
Limp
. A couple of years later the duo released under their own names for the album
Golden Sun
on Darla. Jakob is also part of the four-piece
Causa Sui
with a release on Germany's Nasoni. Where the previous collaborations with Manual have featured soporific hip-hop beats and melting soundscapes,
Awakes
sees Syntaks explore more varied territories. The ten track album clocks in just under 50 minutes and journeys into an expertly-crafted concoction of seductive dub, guitar pop, leftfield beats and
Slowdive
-esque washes of guitar with the slightest hint of
Cocteau Twins
at their best.
Awakes
is a broad-brush stroke of accomplished, grandiose electronics that transports to wonderful netherworlds -- a soundtrack to navigating deserts alone, hallucinating glittering digital oasis after digital oasis.
