of dubstep and snare, if you hadn't guessed) suggest, ironically enough, the

chill scene, at least in electronic music, is inextricable from its main-stage,

peak-hour EDM counterparts.  It derives its power from subtlety, a kind of weaponized softness, exaggerated gestures; in billion-watt sparkle and its whoosh, it screams!  (It seems not coincidental that the rise of chill has emerged alongside not just marijuana's widespread legalization but also its lab-grown, gene-spliced, THC-boosted burst in potency.)

Innocuous contribution to the emerging chill taking cues and smoothing them into a tantalizing array of

out their usual ribbon-like strips of sampled vocals with chirpy guest ends which channeled the decade's default pop-EDM vocal style into whimsical,

helium-fueled shapes.  It was original and meticulously produced, but it got cloying fast, like chugging from an feeder that is oversized.

director Luther Johnson.  The album is accordingly ambitious.  It is filled with billowing rumble and vocal harmonies and snare beats; every orgasm is but a stepping stone to a bigger orgasm, and its default style is a sort of beatitude that is eyes-closed. That it's a record about desire is obvious; at feeling that brass ring brushing beneath their fingertips you can sense their anticipation.

With color that you expect Animal Collective's voices to come soaring through the flames and so much light.  From there, A Moment Apart keeps chasing

begin with "Don't Be A Robot"; the tune, like the record, has Envoy's charred

fingerprints all over it.
