Album Description
Available in:
"Hi Viz" is the fourth studio album by Australian electronic duo The Presets. The album was released in Australia by Modular Recordings on 1 June 2018.
User Album Review
HI VIZ opens strongly with the eclectic, 8-bit sounds of Knuckles, and closes just as well with Until the Dark, but the meat in the sandwich isn’t especially flavourful. Lead single Do Want You Want has a disconcerting sense of the familiar about it, which distracts from an otherwise solid track, while Martini strong groove loses its charm by halfway through. The appearance of Alison Wonderland on Out of Your Mind, and DMAs on Are You Here, introduces some welcome novelty – general quirkiness notwithstanding – into The Presets’s sound.
The effective looping of the vocals on Feel Alone, and the cross-fade into Brains, highlight The Presets’ arrangement skills, but overall it’s difficult not to feel that these skills will be somewhat overlooked in the intended listening environment. Live audiences will undoubtedly respond well to the tracks presented on HI VIZ, but those listening at home may find the record a little underwhelming.
