Fantasma

Silvestre strikes strong on Studio Barnhus, bringing moronic dance music and stupendously haunting ambient ditties to the forefront once again, following his highly reputable "It's 2024!!" EP, released in 2024. On his most expansive and accomplished work yet, tensions between Silvestre’s many expressions – bass-faced rave maker, hazy lo-fi crooner, absurdist beat poet, etc. – reach catastrophic levels, resulting in an album that shimmers and convulses with both inviting warmth and that rare, essential hint of danger at the core of club music's spirit. There's just never a dull moment with this Silvestre guy, whether he's out blessing club crowds with electroid techno sets or effortlessly delivering instant classic albums like this one.
