Jaffna
Odyssey
'Odyssey' is a sonic travel diary, going from Sri Lanka ('Roots,' 'Bhairavi'), to Germany ('Sturm Und Drang') through London ('Hackney Boy,' 'You Got Together,' 'Rival,' 'Manifest') with stops in Norway ('Oslo') and of course their home town of Paris ('Headlines' or 'Outro'). These last two deal in more detail with the due's Parisian life. Their subtle and airy mix of melodic deep-house tinged with occasional forays into Indian vocal harmonies is a gentle immersion in a very singular universe. Jaffna is to be classified between Rone, Bicep, Ross from Friends, French 79 or N'To. Rediscovering somewhat the minimalism of the duo's early career, Odyssey surprises us with aerial melodies in duality with a melodic Future Garage / House rhythm.
