about

005

I just reflect. I just reflect. I just reflect. I just reflect.

Phrases and vocal snippets repeat their way through ‚used to be‘ like familiar mantras. Aaliyah, SWV and Whitney Houston sing their melancholic love songs over and over again on ghostly remains of once shiny and lush instrumentals.

Blurred memories of late night phone calls, intimate moments, glances and conversations, are scattered over the pieces on Val Clipp’s second album on Off Center.

While we slowly wade through and pass out at the end, we ask ourselves;

What used to be?

You tell me. You tell me.

Dubby, ethereal, blissed out material on display here. Equal parts ambient and head nodding grooves, this album is a great blend of melody and texture. Highly recommended for post club mornings or night cruising. One of the best of 2023 so far. Dorosoto
