Brian Leeds, also recognized as Huerco S., has unveiled his most extensive musical statement to date with the Loidis project. This ambitious undertaking spans 111 minutes across six vinyl sides, a scale he significantly justifies through its content. The album delves into intricate sound design, incorporating ASMR-inducing elements and microhouse-inspired arrangements reminiscent of early 2000s acts.
Leeds' characteristic shimmering synth chords are paired with delicate snares and dynamic stereo effects, creating a palpable sense of movement. Tracks like "TT Stunt" feature playful echoing notes, while "Running Rich" incorporates an infectious Afrobeat bassline. Though a few selections in the latter half may lack the consistent adventure found elsewhere, the majority of the album offers a riveting and psychedelic listening experience.
