Baauer made his name with slyly heavyweight trap songs and, while his debut album has plenty of low end, it also looks beyond the party. It’s front-loaded with tunes suffused with echo and edginess—that goes equally for the slinky UK garage cut “Body”, the 150-BPM banger “GoGo!” and the slow-motion “Pinku”, which sounds like a hazy Daft Punk. “Day Ones” is a double-barrelled blast of grime, the globetrotting “Temple” pairs koto with 808 and “Make It Bang” explores Baltimore club. Thirteen tunes, 13 different pins in his world bass map.
