Has Axel Wilner changed, or has the world changed? The artist who built an impressive career on making the same album over and over-and making every single one compelling-sounds a little different on his new EP Now You Exist, his first record in eight years. Maybe it’s because it’s on Studio Barnhus instead of his usual home of Kompakt, but it comes off loose and relaxed, unmoored from the clinical techno beats of his most revered work; it sets off on the wide-open path Infinite Moment laid out in 2018 and then veers ruggedly off road. With its over-the-top emotions and genuine hooks, Now You Exist recalls a more unhurried, washed-out version of his debut album, From Here We Go Sublime, sprawled out in the sun and left to bake for a while.
