About this album
Nate Patrin, January 27, 2009 | pitchforkmedia.com
Remember the Mo’ Wax aesthetic? I kind of miss it. Their early-to-mid-1990s vanguard of instrumental downtempo breakbeat peaked with DJ Shadow’s Endtroducing… and, much like jazz fusion, their hip-hop fusion had a brief window of innovation followed by a period of watered-down stagnancy. But fond memories of Headz have a way of coming back to you, and the urge to listen to psych-prog noodling and ambient/illbient trip-out jazzbo riffs over heavy Class of ‘88 boom-bap breaks is going to need to get fulfilled sooner or later. And with Shadow gone halfway hyphy, RJD2 turned into a twee Stevie Wonder, and Diplo getting most of his artier tendencies out of his system with Florida over four years ago, that urge has gotten harder to sate as of late.
This, then, should tide you over fine. Aether is one of several projects from San Antonio musician and graphic designer Diego Chavez, who has a couple of backup aliases (Otic Angst; A.M. Architect) in case one of the eight other groups out there operating under the name Aether sends a cease-and-desist. And within the first 13 minutes of Artifacts, his first full-length release as Aether, that familiar blunted vibe you might remember from those old UNKLE tracks you bumped 12 years ago comes creeping back in. Opener “Forgive Me” pulses its way into melancholy, electric piano-driven life like a wintry cousin to one-beat wonder Peter Panic’s production on Jay-Z’s “Regrets”, and subsequent sounds— the head-nodding sparkle of “Dejame Dormir”
