I've skimmed the album on Spotify, but haven't really had time to absorb it. I find it difficult to judge right away because there's stuff I don't like mixed with some intriguing work. Gimme some time.
I get your frustration. I don't think anyone listened to this, but it's great and made by a fundamentally decent person:

Oh yeah, I think I remember that.
No I was/am not trolling, and I’ve been singing Koze’s praises loudly and whenever I can on this forum and everywhere else since I heard “Amygdala” in 2013. That blew my mind. Took a few listened for it to really sink in, but it’s a deeply textured and layered album full of eccentric whimsy AND positively infectious, stanky ass beats and grooves. It’s dance music for your brain, only it’s not “IDM,” nor is it
bmphf-tsss-bmpfh-tsss dumbass nonsense. It’s dance music for the club of dreams (derr!) that’s just really, really, really fucking out there and well done.
If you have time, just listen to the first track on the new album. It’s instrumental, and sublimely lowkey, with a flute riff that will make your soul float. I don’t know if I can trust anyone who can listen to it (or any of his other first tracks, like “Track ID Anyone?” from “Amygdala” or the beautiful remix of Super Flu’s “Jo Gurt”) without wanting/needing to hear more.
Not trolling. He’s the best and most inventive artist in electronic music... at least on the more happy/non-harsh experimentation side of things.
EVERYONE LISTEN TO DJ KOZE
