Anemoia, as the album’s opening section helpfully informs us, is “the ache of nostalgia for a time you’ve never known”. Given the back-catalogue of SG Lewis and his penchant for classic house/disco vibes one has to wonder whether the title of his third record is a concept or an excuse, but either way there are some great instrumentals and guest performances here.
The Shygirl collaboration ‘Sugar’ is a co-write with Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs (so often a mark of quality) and features an earworm vocal about slipping into a romantic situation. The synth melody bounces up and down by sixths and fourths, like a groovier version of Strobe by Deadmau5, and the warm piano chords during Shygirl’s verse are the icing on the cake.
