Album Review: Ultra Truth by Daniel Avery
Excellent, Based on 1 Critic
Based on rating 4
An accomplished, moving record from the purveyor of IDM-influenced soundscapes arrives with a little help from his friends It is striking that after 2013's Drone Logic, producer and composer Daniel Avery moved so far away from the crisp, metallic house beats with which he first made a name for himself. Ultra Truth focuses instead on the IDM-influenced soundscapes that have become his wheelhouse, with some assistance from collaborators like Kelly Lee Owens, HAAi and Sherelle. The slower songs here are warm in tone despite their otherwordly synths, as the title track's Aphex Twin-esque melody snakes its way around a lo-fi, bassy beat.
