Metaphor

Metaphor is Warp's Detroit signing at his most melodic and most melancholy, Kenny Larkin going even deeper into feeling than he did on Azimuth. It's a record of real emotional range, techno that carries genuine sadness without ever turning maudlin, and it's one of the finest things the AI-adjacent Detroit strand produced. It ranks at a hundred and thirty-eight because it's a refinement of his own established mode, but the refinement is beautiful, and few techno records feel this deeply.
