- Brighton's Black Key Records may be small—they're yet to release half a dozen records—but they're consistently on-point with their take on deep house. This is no small feat considering the volume of labels offering their interpretation of the in-vogue sound to an increasingly saturated market. Previously appearing on Morris Audio and Deso, Damico has a history of crafting emotive and reassuringly assured house music. Soothingly raw and unfussy, the title track glides classily along, its bubbling lead refrain repeatedly making its point with the help of subtly swung hats and a cuddly bassline.
Where "Cry Wall" patiently holds back, "Love Me" confidently surges forward; sharper hats and the same tenderly drawn synths create another enchanting atmosphere that not even an oddly placed guitar can dispel. With Moodtrap contributing a more than worthy take on "Love Me"—a pummelling bass synth scatters vocals and shards of the original in its wake—this is probably the strongest release to date on an already excellent label.
