Staff Picks: Koreless - Agor
For fans of: Obsessively Detailed Electronic Sound
What they're saying: Here is Zoe Beery of Resident Advisor on Agor’s astounding qualities: “It is pure, frictionless precision… each composition is compacted into its ideal form and emanates an eerie clarity.” Magnetic Mag’s Ryan Middleton draws a parallel between Lewis Roberts of Koreless’s coastal upbringing and his enigmatic production style: “The project has a mythical quality to it that ebbs and flows like waves cresting gently on a tall rocky shore.” And Pitchfork on Koreless: “On Agor, that willingness to push himself—combined with all his obsessive effort—yields both visceral thrills and real feeling.”
What we say: Glitchy, new agey, synthy, kick-drumless house music. This will have plenty of appeal to anyone with an ear for avant-pop, heady sound design, or cutting edge dance music.
