Why it's here
Polymer finds Plaid still working melodic, mathematically intricate IDM with the ease of veterans who helped establish the form. The appeal is less novelty than fluency: detailed rhythm and melody continue to interlock and never sound dutiful. Thirteen tracks, none past five minutes, almost all of them titled in a single syllable.
