What can I say? The soft minimal sounds of late 90s and early 00s artists like Pole, Oval, and Vladislav Delay might be coming back. These guys, from Chicago, basically take those artists and make an album out of it. Rest on this musical pillow as you float down memory falls, crashing into foam lake. Float there a while and be still while the bubbles twinkle and pop all around you.

This is one of my favorites of the year.

Not to get too hung up on it but it does re-summon everything I love about a certain kind of electronic music that people made between 1997 and 2003 or so and I can't get enough of that sort of sound.

At this point, Purelink have firmly cemented their place as the boy band of ambient music. The trio, all in their 20s, craft freewheeling laptop jams that pay startlingly accurate homage to early dub techno. Without a bit of context, I initially thought that Purelink was a relic of the scene that sprung up around the label Chain Reaction in the ‘90s. On their second release of 2023, Signs, Purelink showcase their subdued side. Across the six tracks of the Peak Oil-issued album, cloudy pads and pearly melodies are underlined by deep basslines. Occasionally, sparse percussion emerges from the aural mist, pushing things into clubbier terrain. But for the most part, Signs is better suited for the spa than the afterparty. Listening to the record feels like screaming into a pillow, if the pillow was inside you.
