Here, on "Must", Bolivar tips a nod to his love of dub but from the opening track onward we see true reflection of his wide-ranging influences. 80βs disco bleeds through on opening track "Rise Your Demons", a slo-mo track that gives way to the pensive deep house tones of "Eleven Years" before the two sounds meet in the quirky, upbeat "Midnight Frogs". Hazy jazz meets dub overtones in "Off Soft" while the jazz licks filter into the appropriately titled "Smoke Mode" and following track "Diamonds" which takes a more stripped back approach in showcasing its roots. The last section of the LP, across four tracks, runs a myriad of deep house aesthetics and, carrying on the LPβs densely textured melodic approach, provides a gossamer covered range of moods. "Must" is an accomplished, cohesive LP that sees Bolivar at the height of his deft and subtle yet compelling writing. Paired with exceptional production values that give appropriate space and cosseting warmth, this writing really shines.
