DJ Seinfeld began working on his second album for Ninja Tune right as Mirrors was coming out in 2021, and the album slowly took shape and evolved as his busy touring schedule took him around the world. If This Is It reflects on themes such as letting go, embracing the present, and accepting things as they are. The songs feature many of the hallmarks of Seinfeld’s sound, from effervescent chords to teary-eyed vocal snippets — opener “U Can’t Come Home” even incorporates a voice mail message, though it’s not as dramatic as the one from the previous album’s “These Things Will Come to Be.” Seinfeld’s music has incorporated more guest vocals than samples over the years, so If This Is It feels a bit more collaborative than his past releases, yet it’s still highly personal.
