Krell's latest album, I Am Toward You, is his first release in six years and undoubtedly his most difficult yet. He constructs an idiosyncratic world of field recordings and ephemera, muffled soul singing and glitchy guitar samples, mournful melodic detours and buzzing electronic drops.
Blissful and self-consciously beautiful, yet elusive hooks dominate 'I Am Toward You,' offering a unique listening experience. Even when less abrasive, songs like 'On It and Around It' maintain an opaque, hazy quality, seeking transcendence.
