Its winter in Detroit and Fit Siegel has given us * Carmine*, a moody techno classic perfect for the lonely season. Subtle, low-key and thumping, the title track revolves around a bittersweet piano lead, elegiac 303 and Blade Runner string swells. Its a high-tech driving song in the tradition of Model 500s low-key classic * Pick Up The Flow* and FIT sounds more assured than ever. * First Found* is Mills-ian jigsaw puzzle techno imbued with breathy and addictive humanity. Stacatto, free-jazz informed piano solos lock into ping-pong synths -- eventually, a female vocal emerges over a bed of arpeggiated bass. Loose yet robotic, * First Found* is first-rate Detroit techno mysticism. The record as a whole is a worthy entry into the Motor Citys storied canon from a leader of the new school.
