Letherette made no secret of their fondness for incorporating different styles into their music on their self-titled debut, a tradition Richard Roberts and Andy Harber continue on
Last Night on the Planet. Roberts and Harber have updated their palette since their first album, adding more hip-hop and downtempo elements to their disco, house, and synth pop foundations on tracks like the
Rejjie Snow collaboration "Momma," the '80s R&B homage "Shanel," and the pretty breather "Bad Sign" (which features Jed & Lucia). Later, Harber and Roberts transform finely minced samples into something ominous and kinetic on "Soulette," while "Rubu" distills the ever-so-slightly dreamy vibe of their debut into a sweetly sparkling highlight. ~ Heather Phares
