Much like her DJ sets, Dutch artist upsammy's records follow their own paths rather than the norms of most club music. She effortlessly glides between tempos and styles, and prioritizes lush, tantalizing textures over steady, propulsive beats and dancefloor functionality. Her debut LP for Dekmantel follows a series of sought-after EPs for Whities, Nous'klaer Audio, and Die Orakel, and it's some of her most expressive work to date. Drifting further away from dance music yet too rhythmic to classify as ambient, the album perpetually takes a not-quite-solid form, matching its trickling tones with titles like "Melt in My Heated Hands" and "It Drips." Tracks like "Growing Out of the Plastic Box" and "Subsoil" are somewhere between the soothing metallic clang of gamelan and percussion instruments fashioned from used glass bottles, with friendly, curious melodies helping the sounds go down smoothly. Likewise, "In a Shade"'s buzzing, obtuse beats are rendered more accessible by the sparkling, uplifting tune. "Overflowering" radiates pure joy, but still sounds like it's made for dancing at one's desk rather than at a club. "Extra Warm" is more overtly dub-influenced yet barely sounds like conventional dub techno, with skittering, sideways beats imitating gentle rainfall and understated usage of echo effects. Refreshing rather than challenging, the album vividly displays upsammy's natural curiosity for exploring new sounds.
