Listening back to
Roman Poncet
's first releases on Figure in 2013, they already hinted at the producer's keen technical abilities and a knack for rich texturing, resulting in tracks that were both carried by force and form. What he delivers now is an impressively mature debut album, ripe with personal creative realization. On
Gypsophila
the French producer uses the extended format to slowly shape up a scenery of epic proportions where surprise and constant change lurk around every corner. A certain sense of progression and evolution runs throughout Poncet's music; it invariably keeps one locked in, no matter for the opening drones of "Do Not" or the patiently growing "Thick Vegetation", which fuses tribal percussion and choral chants to showcase another of this LP's key features: its dense soundscape, which at once feels inherently electronic yet deeply organic, translating the abstract futuristic themes of techno into something jam-packed and heady albeit steadily grounded -- a listening experience that is as dreamy as it remains tangible. This holds true for the highly atmospheric synth-lead pieces, such as the cinematic intro "Hello You", the elevating Arp-ride "Épreuve", or the suspended celestial groove of "Atlas". But equally goes for the floor-focused rhythms, like relentless steam engine-workout "Piège" or mid-album mind-trip "In Aeternam". Adding even more variety and depth to the mix, the tidal title track is given its own side to explore the sheer endless expanses of dub... Bundling the complete range of his influences,
Gypsophila
marks the pinnacle of Roman Poncet's work to date. Covering a spectrum this broad in his very own way, the album proves as relevant for the current club scene as it will be for repeated return visits.
