Lapsed’s self titled second album is the result of a difficult challenge: building a precise, sharp and glitchy album from the parts and rhythms of a seemingly antithetical genre. A multi-genre musician as Ad Noiseam cherishes them, Jason Stevens brings delicate melodies (put forward by Aaron Spectre’s dulcimer in his final remix) together with analog scratches and dubplates cuts. How long has it been since you last head nods to glitchy beats?Fresh, uninhibited, “Lapsed” is an album of subtlety, grace, and sheer, warm attraction, of clever composition that never forgets to gratify the listener.
