Description
2016, 2×12″ LP, AUS Music.
Having spent the last seven years delivering impressive singles on a variety of labels – most notably Aus Music, Secretsundaze and Hype_Ltd – Ewan Smith has decided the time is right to unleash his debut album under the Youandewan alias. There Is No Right Time is a gently expansive affair, with the Scottish producer utilizing both electronic and acoustic instrumentation on tracks that perfectly showcase his diverse range of influences. Contrast, for example, the spacey jazz-house of “Be Good To Me, Poly”, the dusty, pitched-down deep house warmth of “Time To Leave (Can’t Mix)”, and the sparkling, B12 style IDM/electro fusion of “Something Keeps Me Real Quiet”; all are immaculately produced and impressively melodious, but hugely different stylistically. He also joins forces with Huerta on album highlight “Left On Lucy”, a glistening fusion of bubbly, synth-heavy deep house, Motor City futurism and sun-bright new age melodies. – Juno
