Album Review: Dusk to Dawn, Pts. 1-3 by Mr. Tophat
Very Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 7/10
Throughout the 2010s, Swedish producer Mr. Tophat (Rudolf Nordström) released dozens of 12" singles, generally consisting of sunny, sprawling house tracks and mostly made in collaboration with Art Alfie, co-founder of the Stockholm-based Karlovak label. Tophat gained a significant amount of exposure through his collaborations with Robyn; the pop icon added a sensual touch to the producer's 2017 EP Trust Me, and Nordström then handled production duties for two tracks on 2018's Honey.
Based on rating 6.8/10
Hardcore Robyn fans already know the work of Swedish producer Rudolf Nordström, aka Mr. Tophat. He co-produced "Baby Forgive Me" and "Beach2k20," two of the gorgeous, gently filtered house-pop tracks from last year's Honey; his own 2017 release Trust Me, a three-song, 35-minute EP of throbbing, desaturated grooves, featured Robyn throughout. His latest solo release, Dusk to Dawn, is an ambitious three-album suite of understated, occasionally disquieting techno nocturnes.
