Half of Where You Live

Derwin Dicker's second album replaced the sample-heavy warmth of Lucky Shiner with something more sparse and travelogue-like — field recordings from Japan blended into drum patterns that feel spacious and slightly disoriented, like jet lag made musical. 'Brazil' and 'Junk City II' have a melodic economy that sticks around long after the record ends. It got less attention than his debut partly because it asked for more patience.
