Family Vacation

Boman's debut full-length is loose and playful in a way that most house albums of that period weren't — the structures drift, the samples are odd and human, and the emotional register keeps shifting from melancholy to something almost giddy. 'Holy Drum' alone justifies the record. Released on Studio Barnhus and immediately felt like it came from a different design philosophy than the Scandinavian minimal that dominated before it.
