Glass Candy and Chromatics member Johnny Jewel is back with a new LP, Double Exposure, which is now the producer's sixth album for his own Italians Do It Better imprint. In fact, while we're on the topic, it's important to note that the label is regarded by many as the mecca of of hah-quality electro and synthwave but, most importantly, that it has been so way before the current trend hit the ol' hype-wheel. In short, hats of to old Johnny boy! Double Exposure opens with the dark, looming beat of "The Hacker", all phased and wrapped in glorious distortion, but things quickly turn much nastier and cut-throat through the likes of "The Chase" or "Telekon", the latter being a particularly startling noise affair. As the LP flows into even darker, cyber-punk territories thanks to tunes like "Cyborg", there's a growing sense that Johnny Jewel has the art of science fiction very much front of mind; even "Emerge", with its vast and aqueous landscapes contains the same sort of look and feel as Ridley Scott's infamous Blade Runner. Everything from the cover to the beats themselves emanates a sort of decadent beauty, a net-romantic glow made palpable by Jewel's single-minded vision.
