Shigeto: No Better Time Than Now Vinyl LP
ShigetoĀ has always had the ability to travel between his influences with ease. Whether it's the sample based pastiche of earlyĀ Four Tet, the compressed murk ofĀ Actress, the L.A. beat scene's disjointed funk or theĀ dusty, downbeat houseĀ of his hometown,Ā Zach SaginawĀ hasĀ builtĀ on these touchstones and created something truly unique.Ā Saginaw's landmark 2013 long playerĀ forĀ Ghostly,Ā No Better Time Than Now, showcases his penchant for slow moving beats and shifting melodies. As a jumping off point, "Detroit Part 1" delivers one ofĀ Shigeto's best tracks to date (a Part 2 was finally released onĀ The New Monday, also highly recommended). While it looks to hip hop, the track trades off some of the grittiness for more subtle flourishes. There are moments like this throughout the record; quiet interludes are upended by more funky affairs, slumping beats are treated to tiny xylophone tones. It's these juxtapositions that makeĀ No Better Time Than NowĀ a great listen, one that has only gotten sweeter with time.
