Tristan Arp's A Pool, A Portal sounds as wet and cosmic as its title suggests. The Mexico City artist's nature-influenced sophomore album is a gorgeous blend of gentle polyrhythms, ambient soundscapes, and spoken word. Like many of the most exciting albums in electronic music, A Pool, A Portal skillfully makes machines sound more human while making humans sound more like machines. The album maintains a sense of spontaneity and wonder that you must hear for yourself. A Pool, A Portal is out now on Wisdom Teeth.
