synffBreeze, shimmer and weightlessness give these records lift. Their muted and half-hearted edges stop hope becoming denial.
Whitney
Breezy and airy, but still muted enough to leave the difficult parts in view.
Tame Impala
Shimmer and hypnosis provide the lift; a half-hearted undertow keeps it honest.
Thundercat
Vibrant, soothing and weightless, it sounds like relief without claiming a clean ending.
