The bands rolls from one tableaux to another during its eleven song journey, tunes and melodies tumbling over each other and sliding in and out of focus before the next passage—like most great works you can’t hear the transitions, feel the segues or see the seams—soars into the air, lifting you towards another idea, another bowl of bottomless soul. If you’ve been lucky enough to see the Projekt live, they transcend your expectations on record. Perhaps, most importantly, the band sounds like they’ve crafted a perfect set without the usual awkward filler or ill-placed sequencing. DJ Williams effortlessly glides the direction of the sonic story unfolding with restrained confidence and experienced talent. Whereas most bands have to shove their bravado in your face every five minutes with technical gymnastics, Williams allows the music to speak without losing track of the biggest fact of all: tunes need to be memorable. And they are.
