Disco Popsters the Juan MacLean Are Only Human -- More or Lessnew
Although it has taken on a massive life outside of the new album, the teaser single "Happy House" shows what the Juan MacLean is capable of: namely, superb pop that uses dance music's production techniques and structures.

Four Tet Jumps Genres, But Its Meaningful Abstractions Stick Like Gluenew
Four Tet's music is sticky. The word works as a description of Kieran Hebden's gluey way of making precious, melodic samples adhere to languid hip-hop beats. It also conveys that Four Tet's sound not only bears down into your memory, it also becomes a medium for memories in its own right.

Thank You Rides Far-Out Waves of Ambiguitynew
Terrible Two's best quality is precisely that we don't know what to make of it. That's the point of the album and what makes the band a close fit with post-rock's steez.
