D APAL Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Norwegian instrumentalist D. Apal who might well also be a part of the Flammer Dance Band steps out with a colourful and vivacious debut album that is likely to become a favourite summer soundtrack this season. It is a playful rhythmic exploration with elements of dub, Balearic, disco, Afro, soul and funk. The loose-limbed grooves are brought to life with a mix of organic percussion and smart synth sounds that make it sound modern yet not too polished. If you like the sounds of William Oneyeabor but always wanted him to cut more loose, then this is for you.
