A shrewd business move from Coco Bryce? The underground drum & bass lodestar has named his latest full-length record after the Japanese pop genre, between which there appears to be no relation. We're left to wonder whether it's purely a coincidence, save for the fact that the latter's popularity makes it seem like less of one. Whatever the case, the mood of Coco's latest record errs less on bangers and more mash, completely sidestepping the apparent need for most producers working mainly in realm of singles and EPs to suddenly play up to a concept when it comes to making an LP. No; from 'Slow Motion' to 'Blow Me Over', City Pop is muted, revelling in the joy of pure breaks science and soft chordal experimentation. The extra tasteful sample-work of 'Idle Minds' and blooping minimalisms of 'Your Mine' go on to testify that this is a subtle listen, perhaps one that only an artist at the height of their career can indulge, after all the points have been proven and statements made.
