Huerco S – Plonk (2022)

I think »Plonk« is the most descriptive album title since Bleep Techno was coined. Most of the many, many Huerco S side-projects roared like a lion, but »Plonk« plonks down directly in the first half and creates a weightless version of Drill. After that, it gets a bit more spherical and predictable, but with this dubby ambient stuff, Huerco S is still nobody’s fool. If someone were to remark that at a minimum the closing piece could have been on the Bonobo album, I would ultimately be exposed as a hypocrite.
