Les Nuits; Warp's Leeds veterans at their most generous
'Les Nuits' sets the temperature for Carboot Soul: warm, unhurried, slightly polished around the edges. George Evelyn takes the Smokers Delight language and makes it cleaner and more inviting, the groove untouched. The tracks never push for attention; they settle in. A refinement and not a leap; few downtempo records are this easy to return to.
№ 13 on The 10 Best Downtempo Albums
The follow-up, sunnier and more song-shaped. Les Nuits is the one everybody knows without knowing.
