Taraval aka Ryan Smith already has two releases to hie name onText, and in places on No Coast, you can hear why his work fits in so well on Four Tet’s label. The most apparent example of this style is “Stan’s Loon”, where a busy percussive track plays host to a cacophony of electro-acoustic tones. It’s off the wall, but still manages to maintain its sense of groove. A similar aesthetic is audible on “Kima Jima”. Detuned tones and frequencies flit about over a swung rhythm. On other occasions however, the Californian artist goes down a tough techno route, evident on the creaking, noisy workout that is “Topaz’s Way” and the droning, tunnelling title track.
