Mor Elian released her debut as Alloy Sea in 2020, and at first it was easy to dismiss »Petrichor« as the kind of auditory sedative that so many club music producers indulged in during the pandemic, but the follow-up now proves once and for all that it was more than just a lockdown ambient record. »Xoomin« brings together thick textures and rhythmic clatter, combining the best of the two musical worlds through which the avant-dance producer regularly travels. The discreet yet eerie use of vocals adds an even more haunting component. We could call this IDMbient, perhaps, but overall it’s difficult to pin down stylistically. Which, as we all know, is always a bonus.
