Nobody - Pacific Drift

scoundrel, Oct 17, 2005

Whereas Nobody’s debut, SOULMATES, reveled in darker sounds, his second album, PACIFIC DRIFT, shows an expansion and evolution in his range. The sound this time out is closer to West Coast psychedelia, rather than moody trip-hop. “White Folding Slowly” …, “The Beaches of Neptune” has a sing-song melody that’s almost catchy. That impression is cemented by “Porpoise Song,” an electric hippie love-in. So, yeah, it’s good. It’s what the Future Sound of London’s THE ISNESS should have been. A note of pastoralism also creeps in to “After the Summer Hits” but is firmly grounded in the definitive rhythm. Same goes for the irrepressibly sunny “Psilo-Cycling.” The vocals here aim more towards the indie-rock kids, but that’s a step-up from the OK-but-not-great MCs on his first album. The electro buzz of “Headspace” clears room for the lo-fi sonics of “I Won’t Hurt You.” With a drift like this, you’ll never want to be found.
