Optometry

Across eleven tracks, Optometry moves fluidly between dream pop and propulsive electronic forms, from the brisk tempos of hands up and electro to the sleek lines of synth-pop and deep house. The inclusion of breakbeat adds rhythmic irregularity, preventing the electronics from feeling overly polished and lending the productions a restless, kinetic energy.

With an 8.1 average across the rotation, the material consistently hits a sweet spot between accessibility and leftfield experimentation. On Palette Recordings, these productions sit at an interesting intersection—neither pure rock nor straight club functionalism, but a hybrid strain that feels comfortably at home in the deeper corners of the electronic underground.
