Milwaukee-based electronic artist Thane returns for quite the tape this past NYE. The record is described as “exploring the meaning of freedom in an algorithm run world”. Throughout, it appears Thane is taking certain EDM genre tropes and contorting and re-contextualizing them in an almost “hyperpop” way, to form his own original style. For example, in “THANE-MAX 5000”, (which feels maximalist even in the title) the song bounces from techno, trance, to drum and bass with textured left-field electronic sensibilities scattered throughout the atmospherics making for a fresh, hyper-rave feel that takes on its own personality. The result of the album is something incredibly fresh, reminiscent (just in terms of texture and sonic palate)to that of Jamie xx’s “In Colour”. Previously collaborating with the likes of Anderson .Paak, BJ the Chicago Kid, Mick Jenkins, and Kojey Radical on 2016’s “Topia”, “The Algorithm Isn’t Working” shares no spotlight with other musicians, but immediately demands your attention. Listen to my personal favorite, “Limitless”, above. It is a brooding, dark garage-tinted song with eclectic Gospel/R&B samplings that is at once inspiring and darkly moody at the same time.
