Wow, a Spanish artist at #2! And two weeks ago he was #1!!
And how so? Well, he doesn't sound Spanish at all. Moreover he hides his face and his real name (John Talabot is the name of the school where he studied in Barcelona). Nothing new (The Residents or Daft Punk did it before). A typical case of hype coming from Pitchfork, that lauded every one of his releases from the very beginning. However I can't complain about the music, I just listened to his album and I found it rather interesting. But I can't help to agree with the reviewer of Pitchfork: "... I don't think there's a calculating bone in the-artist-currently-known-as-John-Talabot's body, but he has nevertheless benefited from being in the right place at the right time. His slow tempos, supersaturated colors, and tropical accents fit right in with the woozy, humid dance music that's currently in vogue..."
Anyway let's be patriots: "ƒIN" for album of the year!!

ƒIN is indeed very enjoyable; the first comparable thing that springs to mind is Studio, so I think Henrik will really enjoy this one as well.
