90 East: Aos Album Review

90 East

Aos

The world of electronic music is vast and can be a bit difficult to navigate with its nearly endless variety of genres and sub-genres. However, with a little bit of digging a great many nuggets of gold can be found, like Seattle techno producer Aos and her debut EP, 90 East. Filled with driving, mesmerizing rhythms and rich, sensuous textures, Aos takes listeners on an expansive journey through wonderfully vibrant synth laden soundscapes. Balancing ambient sensibilities, very dancey beats, and an astute attention to sound design, 90 East is an exemplary debut for Aos and hopefully the first of many releases. (Simon Weedn)
