After the heaviest of years, it should be time to take a little weight off with the playful sounds of The Person. Mapping its own Bermuda Triangle between dub-pop, sugary synth wave, and Balearic boogie, Tide Life transports Compass Point to Soggy Bottom, providing maximum fun, sun and bitmap escapism. The eagle-eared may recognize The Person from the aspirational Italo-rockers Steaming Jeans, whose chalet-ready romp on Bordello A Parigi scored a Winter Olympic gold back in early 2020. Now left to her own devices, Minna Wight swaps the slopes for a jet ski and takes a wave race from Summer Bay to Monkey Island across 11 cuts of vintage oddball pop. Whether she's borrowing Brenda's Beach Balls for the dubby daydream of "Snail Café" and "The Place", serving lost library cues to SNES club scenes on "Barry R Reef" and "Elastic Shoes" or spinning high school slow jams into synth soul ballads like "Nice Feeling", Minna disguises serious musicianship behind a naive aesthetic. Disarmed by charm, you're powerless to resist her tidal pull.
