- With only a handful of singles in his catalog, Koreless remains a curious prospect four-plus years into his career. His sound, rooted in a smart use of vocal samples akin to Four Tet's There Is Love In You, has evolved gradually from bubbly, two-stepping house into something more leftfield and closer to ambient. And though he moves further from the dance floor with each release, that rhythmic essence, along with his experimental arrangements and emotional overtones. has stuck around. One of his latest tracks, "Love," is cold, glitchy sampling paired with little more than a staccato chord loop and scribbles of restless sine waves. It loosely resembles a stripped-down, acerbic take on Oneohtrix Point Never's "Zebra"—it's unlikely you'll dance to it on its own, but it'd add some brilliant flair to anything with a beat.
If "Love" is the outré new Koreless single, then "TT" is the crowdpleaser for fans of Yugen. With another choppy vocal sequence, this time sounding like "Surf Solar" if Fuck Buttons forgot their distortion pedals, the song glides through quietly uplifting melodies and motorik rhythms into a deconstructed finish. It doesn't offer the anthemic wallop of "Sun" or the romanticism of, say, "Last Remnants," but hits a mysterious sweet spot between those modes. That breadth of expression flags Koreless as an artist who should undoubtedly be writing albums, if that wasn't obvious already. TT / Love is an effective update from an inspired producer whose best work is still ahead of him.
