The cosmic grooves on these next-gen neo-soul stars' second album can be epitomised with just one track: On “Wanders of the Mind”, watery guitar notes cascade into a rippling pool, while a burble of alien percussion evaporates from the murk and a languorous vocal floats over a hypnotic snare. Syd the Kyd and Matt Martians' leftfield R&B is lush, jazzy and soulful, applying fever-dream logic to orchestrations that are both earthy and intergalactic.
