A.R. Kane - Sixty Nine (2024 Vinyl Reissue)

Dream POP, they called it. Given AR Kane’s Alex Ayuli once worked for adver_sing agency Saatchi & Saatchi, it’s no surprise that he and collaborator Rudy Tambala invented their own genre before cri_cs could s_ck their oar in. It was a canny move, but more importantly, it was accurate: the music of AR Kane was made for dreamers, by dreamers, and its languor and longing made it par_cularly bewitching listening; their music is oyen smeared and blurry, happily lost in its own indefinable pleasures. “We wanted dream pop,” Tambala says, “that feeling of a dream where the rules are different. Dream logic.”
-UNCUT REISSUE OF THE MONTH
"A.R. Kane carved out a unique musical path, welding elements of pop, psych, dub, electronica, funk, noise, jazz, ambient and more in a way that had never been done before. Or since. Their debut in par_cular is a work of unbridled brilliance." *Electronic Sound*
