In Search of Hope

Kaidi plays most of it himself and you can feel the musicianship in how the grooves are constructed — keys, bass, and drums all talking to each other rather than stacking up. The broken beat rhythms are there but never so mechanical that the soul gets squeezed out. There's a warmth in the chord work that makes the more abstract arrangements feel accessible. A record for people who want jazz instincts inside electronic structure.
