*Please note that this vinyl edition includes a download code redeemable directly from the label* "After a bit of a pause Isan return with this predictably lovely full-length transmission, their first in 4 years. Once again encapsulating the same elements they have spent more than a decade perfecting (1970's synth lullabies, percolated Casio rhythms and an unshakeably nostalgic aesthetic), spending 50 minutes in their company here will gently nudge you into a world of pastoral wonder and analogue electronic bliss. On "Device" their weltanschauung is perfectly distilled, painting delicate sound tapestries with quietly spiralling synth cascades and barely audible sound treatments flickering away in the background, while "Merman Sound" does little to disguise the beautifully handmade construction at work, introducing vintage percussive machinery to beguiling effect. There's something disarmingly childlike and primitive about the whole run of tracks here, by the time you get to the incredible closing track "Eastside V34" you barely even notice that some dislocated vocal samples have penetrated the pure and perfectly formed world Isan inhabit. If you've enjoyed the Hauntological fantasies of the Ghost Box label, in particular the Advisory Circle, or the strangely emotive synth works of Onehotrix Point Never, "Glow In The Dark Safari Set" will quickly find a treasured spot in you record collection, it is without question one of the loveliest and most charming releases of the year.1 Channel Ten 2 Device 3 Merman Sound 4 Grisette 5 The Axle 6 Greencracked 7 64 Fire Damage 8 Catgot 9 Dapperling 10 Slurs And Slowly 11 Eastside V34
