Montreal-based
Devon Hansen, having recorded under his own name, as
Lotide, and as the dance-focused
Stefan Jós for his 2015 EP
Things You Left Behind, returned that same year with a
Jós debut long-player,
Primitives. With quirky rhythms, crunchy textures, and sparseness, the album offers a disquieting, ambient stroll in a dark basement more than a mirror-balled dancefloor. Issued via Raum (an imprint of Tokyo's Flau, not the German label), the nine-track CD release includes the song "Spinners," which doesn't appear on the eight-track digital version.
