Kenny Larkin’s latest long player uses all manner of aliases, but remains all his own work. Early on there is a strong spirituality in his blend of house and techno, Larkin providing some deeply felt spoken word commentary, without ever being too pretentious. Later he goes for even deeper vibes, the subtle bass line funk driving tracks like ‘Tellin’ Lies’ towards the dancefloor. The daring cover gives this one away – Larkin naked as the day he was born (steady girls!). The same thing happens mentally on the album though – stripped bare, it’s a compelling, personal record.
