Tasteful in its execution, Steve Wood Music’s debut Transformation is a well-rounded retrofuturistic voyage that avoids all the indulgences that lead to cheesy electronic music. It’s dancy but not robotic, retro but not novel, emotional but not saccharine. There’s an element of Tame Impala brand psych to be found in there as well, floating hand-in-hand with the textured synths and delayed vox in Wood’s chosen space somewhere between lofi and stereo recording. Get a taste of the future right now and stream the album below. –Austin Phy
