Helado Negro - Island Universe Story Four (2018)

Robert Carlos Lange reprises his balmy charms for RVNG Intl on Island Universe Story Four, arriving some four years since Story Three with a deliciously frayed and sun-kissed suite of wonky pop songs.

Slotting perfectly into RVNG Intl’s swelling ranks alongside Breadwoman, Visible Cloaks, and Palmbomen II - to name but a few - Helado Negro is allowed to fully explore and indulge his idiosyncrasies inside, resulting an inimitably diverse set that takes in exquisite bubbles of pop soul (Come Be Me), beside more woozy psychedelic slices (ECHO 2), alien dancefloor grubbers (Mist Universe), and big-bootied beats that nod to his past as hip hop producer Boom & Birds (Glow You), and dwelling on the sweeter fringes of IDM/electronica (For A Time, Who Knows).
