Space Is Only Noise

Tape echo and warm, hazy texture give Space Is Only Noise an intimate bedroom-studio feel. Nicolas Jaar avoids functional peaks and steers the album through microhouse and downtempo instead, a softness that proved influential without turning anonymous. 'Too Many Kids Finding Rain In The Dust' is the title that tells you the register, and 'Space Is Only Noise If You Can See' is where the record admits what it is doing.
