After a six-year hiatus, Efdemin returns with ‘Poly’ – his fifth studio album, released on the recently revived Berghain-affiliated label, Ostgut Ton. As the title suggests, ‘Poly’ explores multiplicity: of rhythm, texture, style, and emotion. Across eleven meticulously sculpted textures, the album weaves a multidimensional web of sonic references, nodding to the origins of techno while pushing resolutely into uncharted terrain. The overall tone of ‘Poly’ is mild and playful, introvert and at times dreamy. The music is rich in sonic expression and breathes the spirit of musical concepts that have been refined over the course of decades.
