  • O-Wells's style of electro blends robotic groove with melancholy melodies, and getting the balance of these two elements right comes down to his pacing. "Iscnue" starts with a confident but unhurried kick drum and a mélange of synth bleeps darting across the stereo field, slowly giving way to snare rolls and undulating chords that wrap themselves around the pinging synths. When a whistling melody, buried so deep in the mix you have to squint to catch it, coasts through the track’s final third, the song feels almost tactile, like a warm blanket you want to fall into.
