In moving from Amsterdam to Venice Beach, Junkie XL has left behind the heady prog house theory, the big sound and–thankfully–his inclination to remix. His latest release is a masterful, bipolar ode to the Dutchman’s instinctive mixing of rock and electronica, with pulsating down tracks (“Mushroom,” “Such a Tease”), punk and even trancey soft rock (“Drift Away”). Vocals by newbie Nathan Mader melt seamlessly over simple layers of Junkie XL’s signature drum rolls and guitar riffs.
