Album: Singularity
Artist: Jon Hopkins
Released: 2018
Jon Hopkins’ fifth studio album, Singularity, is ideal for work, homework, or for writers who like a beat to their atmospheric, crunchy, electronic symphonies. Calling it techno would be a poor description for Singularity as Hopkins’ music layers strings, piano, and voices in the mold of a holistic composer, of which he absolutely is. This is an album of space-like ambiance within a nightclub where your vision sways, where each in-and-out of the synths resonates into you, the beat a vehicle for some organic discovery you will undoubtedly find by the end of the album.
