Maceo Plex – Solar 2017 Lone Romantic LR001

http://www.junodownload.com/products/maceo-plex-solar/3414501-02/

Six years have passed since Maceo gave the world his debut album Life Index. In that time he’s solidified his status as one of techno’s most untouchable soul men who’s unapologetically ungoverned by tempos or boxes or any type of formula. He’s also become a father, which is what this (and last year’s “Journey To Solar”) are all about. Rich in sentiment, hope and fear, each cut reveals a deeper layer of Maceo: the star-gazing optimism of “Kepler’s Journey”, the Bristolesque industrial dub soul of “Indigo”, the careful countering of vulnerable emotion and roboticism on “Was Away My Tears”, the list goes on. This is Maceo at his most heartfelt and arresting.
